When the Tea Party Came to Town
demonstrates Robert Draper’s uncanny ability to
ferret out news-making tidbits and provides us with the
first look at this game-changing Congress—sure to be a
classic work.
In When the Tea Party Came to
Town, Robert Draper delivers the definitive account of
what may turn out to be the worst congressional term in
United States history. As he did in writing about President
George W. Bush in Dead Certain, Draper burrows deep
inside his subject, gaining cooperation from the major
players, and provides an insider’s book like no one
else
can—a colorful, unsparingly detailed, but evenhanded
narrative of how the House of Representatives became a house
of ill repute. Because of the bitterly divided political
atmosphere in which we live, this literary window on the
backstage machinations of the House of Representatives is
both captivating and timely—revealing the House in full,
from the process of how laws are made (and in this case, not
made) to the most eye-popping cast of lawmakers Washington
has ever seen.
