Descriere magazin:
n nThe #1 New York Times bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winner n n Allen Drury\'s Advise and Consent is one of the high points of 20th Century literature, a seminal work of political fiction--as relevant today as when it was first published. A sweeping tale of corruption and ambition cuts across the landscape of Washington, DC, with the breadth and realism that only an astute observer and insider can convey. n n Allen Drury has penetrated the world\'s stormiest political battleground--the smoke-filled committee rooms of the United States Senate--to reveal the bitter conflicts set in motion when the President calls upon the Senate to confirm his controversial choice for Secretary of State. This novel is a true epic showing in fascinating detail the minds and motives of the statesmen, the opportunists, the idealists. n n From a Senate old-timer\'s wily maneuvers, a vicious demagogue\'s blistering smear campaign, the ugly personal jealousies that turn a highly qualified candidate into a public spectacle, to the tragic martyrdom of a presidential aspirant who refuses to sacrifice his principles for his career--never has there been a more revealing picture of Washington\'s intricate political, diplomatic, and social worlds. Advise and Consent is a timeless story with clear echoes of today\'s headlines. n n Includes Allen Drury\'s never-before-published original preface to Advise and Consent, his essay for the Hoover Institution on the writing of the book, as well as poignant personal memoirs from Drury\'s heirs.n
