The number-one New York Times best owner and Pulitzer Award winner Allen Drury's Advise and Consent is one of the high items of 20th century literature. It is a seminal work of politics fiction, as relevant today as when it was initially publicized. A sweeping tale of corruption and ambition slashes across the landscape of Washington, DC, with the breadth and realism only an astute observer and insider can express. Allen Drury has penetrated the world's stormiest politics battleground and the smoke-filled committee rooms of the United States Senate to show the bitter conflicts set in motion when the leader calls after the senate to confirm his questionable choice for secretary of express. This book is a genuine epic, displaying in fascinating detail the intellects and motives of the statesmen, the opportunists, the idealists. From a Senate old-timer's wily maneuvers, a vicious demagogue's blistering smear marketing campaign, and the ugly personal jealousies that change a highly experienced candidate into a general population spectacle to the tragic martyrdom of an presidential aspirant who refuses to sacrifice his concepts for his profession, never has there been a far more revealing picture of Washington's complex politics, diplomatic, and social worlds. Advise and Consent is a classic tale with clear echoes of today's headlines.
