Publisher's Synopsis
Allen Drury (Advise and Consent) is perhaps the greatest political novelist of the 20th century. A young and idealistic Drury was assigned as a reporter to the U.S. Senate for three of the most turbulent years in our history. He was an eyewitness to World War II, FDR's New Deal, attempts to pack the Supreme Court, and bitter partisan divides in the face of global war.
Drury's astute observations and insights bring history and politics to life in this truly remarkable account.
