- Fiction, United States, United States. Congress, United States. Congress. Senate
Allen Drury’s *Advise and Consent* is one of the high points of 20th Century literature, a seminal work of political fiction—as relevant today as when it was first published. A sweeping tale of corruption and ambition cuts across the landscape of Washington, DC, with the breadth and realism that only an astute observer and insider can convey.
