关于此电子书

Part of the saga begun with the Pulitzer Prize–winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, “one of the finest and most gripping political novels of our era”(The New York Times).

The United States is thrown into chaos as the President is killed in a plane crash shortly after securing his party’s nomination in a hotly contested race for re-election. As suspicions are cast upon the circumstances of the plane crash, the incumbent party quickly convenes to nominate a candidate in a storm of domestic and international chaos. Against the backdrop of a rich cast of characters, the motivations and drives of each candidate and player help shape the future of the nation and the world.

Praise for Advise and Consent:

"Fifty years after its publication and astounding success . . . Allen Drury’s novel remains the definitive Washington tale. —The Wall Street Journal
