Advise and Consent: A Novel of Washington Politics

Novel by ألن دروري

Blurb

In this seminal work of political fiction, Allen Drury has penetrated the world's stormiest political battleground and 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. From a Senate old-timer's wily maneuvers to the tragic martyrdom of a presidential aspirant who refuses to sacrifice his principles for his career, Advise and Consent is a timeless story with clear echoes of today's headlines.
