“Mark Leibovich profiles are like flaming Dr. Pepper shots. They’re great…  Leibovich’s profiles, read en masse, lay bare Washington’s formative paradox: You can’t fix D.C. unless you go there, and you can’t do well there without becoming everything that’s broken about it.” –Slate

“Amusing and perceptive tales of the political animals in the zoo that is Washington…These essays and profiles are uniformly witty… Leibovich delivers full-dimensional portraits of these eccentric D.C. denizens…. Humorous, incisive and very droll.”—Kirkus

Leibovich, the chief national correspondent for theNew York Times Magazine,who specializes in profiles of people and places, brings together under one roof some of his best and most noteworthy profiles of American political and media figures...Fascinating fare for political wonks. —Booklist
