Advise and Consent
Allen Drury
Probes the drama and maneuvering surrounding the choice of an American Secretary of State.
ADVISE
AND CONSENT is a study of political animals in their natural habitat
and is universally recognized as THE Washington novel. It begins with
Senate confirmation hearings for a liberal Secretary of State and
concludes two weeks later, after debate and controversy have exploded
this issue into a major crisis.
"I can recall no other novel in
which there is so well presented a president's dilemma when his awful
responsibility for the nation's interest conflicts with a personal code
of good morals." (The New York Times)
