Burning Down the House: Newt Gingrich and the Rise of the New Republican Party 

byJulian Zelizer

Julian Zelizer uses Burning Down the House to investigate newt Gingrich and the Rise of the New Republican Party through a carefully framed historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and political science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
