Seller's Description:
Good. Collectible-Good. Slightly dampstained. From the library of American author, columnist, journalist, and presidential speechwriter William Safire. (american literature, politics, novel)
Adam's novel is an interesting and engaging read. His unflattering portrayal of politics in Washington causes one to take a more critical appraisal of one's ideas of democracy. Though set in the time just after the Civil War, this novel contains almost as much insight into today's politics and the essence of statesmanship.
