Description
Spanning three generations of one powerful Washington family, this sweeping political novel traces the ambitions, loyalties, and compromises that shape the Behls’ public and private lives. From a Depression-era senator and failed vice-presidential candidate to his son’s wartime intelligence work and Cold War career, and finally to a lawyer and lobbyist operating in the Kennedy era, the family’s story mirrors the changing currents of American power. With a keen eye for political maneuvering and moral complexity, the novel explores dynasty, service, influence, and the personal costs of ambition.
