Prizewinning journalists John Harwood and Gerald F. Seib
show how today’s Washington power game really works. With
unprecedented access to capital insiders and with deep
understanding of the unspoken rules of the political road,
the authors illuminate what it takes to succeed in the
high-stakes game of governing and provide insights and
examples for how President Obama might affect real change in
Washington. Through stories of party strategists, moneymen,
policy-makers, fixers, socialites, lobbyists, spinners, and
deal-makers, many of whom now have prominent positions in
the Obama administration, Harwood and Seib explore the great
political transformations that have altered the relationship
between Americans and their government. They showcase both
D.C. veterans of the game and the up-and-coming new breed of
power brokers who have ushered Capitol Hill into a new age
Featuring a compelling new Foreword on how Barack Obama
might find success, Pennsylvania Avenue shows how our
government really functions and reveals the insiders who
make things happen.
