Krátky popis
“December 2, 1943. Today I was assigned to the Senate staff of the
United Press and moved into the Senate Press Gallery; I hope to
stay. Nothing could be a better break for a newspaperman and
nothing could please me more. It is exactly what I wanted.”—Allen
Drury, from A Senate Journal Allen Drury is perhaps the greatest
political novelist of the 20th century. His masterpiece Advise and
Consent won the Pulitzer Prize and became one of the best-selling
novels of the century. His other works, such as Decision, A Shade
of Difference, A God Against the Gods, and That Summer showcase
human politics from an intimate scale to a grand panorama. In his
seminal years, a young and idealistic Allen Drury was assigned as a
reporter to the U.S. Senate for three years that were some of the
most turbulent in our history. He was there as an eyewitness to
World War II, FDR’s New Deal, vicious political in-fighting,
attempts to pack the Supreme Court, and bitter partisan divides in
the face of global war. Drury’s astute observations, insights, and
perspectives bring history and politics to life in this truly
remarkable account, which has great relevance to today’s headlines.
“a panorama of 20th century US history.”—Paul Moreno, from his
