Lying down with the lions
a public life from the streets of Oakland to the halls of power
by Ronald V. Dellums
"When Ronald Dellums arrived in Washington in 1971 to represent Oakland, California, in the House of Representatives, his radical activism had already earned him a place on Nixon's enemy list. When he retired in 1998 - his radicalism still intact - he left a record of accomplishment that has made an indelible mark on our political landscape."--BOOK JACKET.
"Lying Down with the Lions chronicles Dellums's years in the House, and offers crucial lessons for Americans committed to democratic social change.
From his days as a freshman from California's 9th Congressional District, to helping to found the Congressional Black Caucus, to being the first African-American to serve on and later chair the House Armed Services Committee, Dellums's tenure in the House is both a testament to his significant career and a crucible of American politics at the close of the century."--BOOK JACKET.
