Description: All books listed are from my personal collection acquired over 60 years.For Sale:Vintage hardcover copy ofNarratives of Empire Series #6 "Washington D.C. "by Gore Vidal"Washington, D.C.", is the final installment in Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire, his acclaimed six-volume series of historical novels about the American past. It offers an illuminating portrait of our republic from the time of the New Deal to the McCarthy era. Widely regarded as Vidal's ultimate comment on how the American political system degrades those who participate in it, "Washington, D.C." is a stunning tale of corruption and diseased ambitions. It traces the fortunes of James Burden Day, a powerful conservative senator who is eyeing the presidency; Clay Overbury, a pragmatic young congressional aide with political aspirations of his own; and Blaise Sanford, a ruthless newspaper tycoon who understands the importance of money and image in modern politics. With characteristic wit and insight, Vidal chronicles life in the nation's capital at a time when these men and others transformed America into "possibly the last empire on earth."Because of the increased number of lost pieces of mail this year, shipping cost includes shipping insurance.
