This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral-Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!-in America's Gilded Capital
Categories: Politics & Social Sciences
Journalist Mark Leibovich offers a satirical portrait of the political and media elite of Washington, D.C. Starting with the memorial for NBC's Tim Russert, he shows how politicians, lobbyists, reporters and staff trade favors and access, and how former officials cash in after leaving government. Leibovich names names and reveals a self-serving culture in which everyone is connected and the business of politics keeps growing.
