Advise and Consent: A Novel of Washington Politics (Pulitzer Prize 1960)

745 pp. Navy blue full leather, gilt titles and decorations, all edges gilt, silk moire endpapers, ribbon marker bound in. Two-panel illustration preceding title page and illustrations in text by Franz Altschuler. The Pulitzer Prize winning novel of American politics. "Advise and Consent is far more than a timely, eye-witness chronicle of our American leaders today -- uneasy, dedicated, or bewildered -- trying to apply old concepts to new and frightening events. It is a remarkable human document which places man's weaknesses and nobility under the same relentless but compassionate scrutiny. Hailed by one enthusiastic reader as 'a Washington novel worthy of the name of the city, ' Advise and Consent is one of the most exciting and authentic American political novels ever written -- by a man who is an experienced and astute reporter as well as a profoundly skilled writer."
