The Pulitzer Prize-winning #1 New York Times -bestselling author recounts his three years as a reporter covering the U.S. Senate in the 1940s with this memoir.
"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 twentieth century. His masterpiece Advise and Consent won the Pulitzer Prize and became one of the bestselling 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.
