This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral—plus plenty of valet parking!—in America’s Gilded Capital by Mark Leibovich

In This Town, award-winning journalist Mark Leibovich exposes the insider culture of Washington, D.C.—a city where power, ego, and influence collide. Through sharp wit and insider access, Leibovich takes readers into the lives of politicians, lobbyists, journalists, and consultants who thrive on fame and proximity to power, regardless of political ideology. Chronicling the city’s social circuits, scandals, and self-promotion, This Town reveals how Washington has become less about governance and more about celebrity, survival, and self-interest. Both biting and entertaining, it is an unflinching portrait of the modern American capital.
