As crazy as affairs might seem today in our nation's capital, it is perhaps comforting to know that the bizarre behavior, bald-faced lies, corruption and freakish circumstance that are so common in this day and age are not an anomaly. In fact, they are closer to being a family tradition.
Literally, before the first street corner had been sketched out, Washington was awash in controversy. Indeed, unscrupulous land speculators almost killed the project before it got off the ground.
This book catalogs the insanity in a series of historical essays that are funny, maddening, tragic and triumphant—and always fascinating.
