Great book....Well written

You will never look at Washington the same way once you've read The Wish for Kings. Mr. Lapham's wit is a sharp as ever in this clever and insightful look at how our country functions. I really enjoy Mr. Lapham's writing and choice of words. You'll learn a lot and enjoy yourself in the process.
