Starts off slowly but once you understand the premise very informative re: Washington DC politics.

I'm glad that I read it. It was a little dated, written in 1958. There are countries that don't even exist now that did then. The cold war with Russia, etc... But it gives you insight into the political machine that is Washington. Politicians haven't changed that much. Still greedy, in office way too long, and all together just full of themselves.
