DAVID BRINKLEY - Washington goes to war. The Extraordinary Story of the Transformation of a City and a Nation

Title: Washington goes to war. The Extraordinary Story of the Transformation of a City and a Nation
Description: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 1988. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 286. Though it is today the hub of international affairs and government, Washington, D.C. was once little more than a small Southern town that happened to host our nationally elected officials. Award-winning journalist David Brinkley remembers what it was like-how Washington awoke from its slumber and found itself with a war on its hands. Washington had to print the paper, alphabetize the bureaucracies, host the parties, pitch the propaganda, write the laws, launch the drives, draft the boys, hire the "government girls," and engage in an often hilarious administrative war of words, wit, and even wisdom.
