This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral—Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!—in America's Gilded Capital

Sausage. Any reader interested in politics in Washington will likely enjoy reading Mark Leibovich’s lively book, This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral—Plus, Plenty of Valet Parking!—in America's Gilded Capital. For Washington insiders, the appeal of this book will be reading about themselves and those they know from the fishbowl. Outside the beltway, this book is something like watching sausage get made: many readers will come away from the book with a very queasy feeling about our political processes. Leibovich as an insider offers readers a perspective that’s unusual: something like an anthropologist when operating as a participant and observer at the same time. Any reader who likes to read about money, power and influence will enjoy this book. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase This Town from amazon.com.
