Party Games: Getting, Keeping, and Using Power in Gilded Age Politics
If you have to write a book about politics, this should be what you write. Summers is a fantastic writer, infusing this history with energy, humor, and snark. The detailed following of individual political campaigns did get tedious, but overall an informative and entertaining read.
