What Are You Reading ?

[Music Head]

Says this is the final in a series of six volumes of something called the American Chronicle Series. Didn't know that until now, as my book has no jacket on it. Picked it up at the library sale. Not sure if the books are connected. Couldn't tell it by reading this one. And this one does not make me want to read the other five. Political novel set in D.C. starting with the second FDR term and running through Eisenhowers early days. Other real characters pop in to be talked about, but the main people are fictional. Focusing on a senator who has his aim at the presidency. All the politicians are crooked, with a lot of bribes and affairs and even incest and homosexuals. Didn't now those existed in the 40's. Only interesting part for me was the McCarthy hearings, where they rooted out the commies. Quite a waste of time here.

Grade - D

next up - Cuba And Castro by Teresa Casuso
