About the book

Mary McGrory was a trailblazing columnist for the Washington Star and Washington Post, reporting from the front lines of American politics for five decades. From her first assignment reporting on the Army-McCarthy hearings to her Pulitzer-winning coverage of Watergate, McGrory humanised the players on the great national stage while establishing herself as a uniquely influential voice. Behind the scenes she flirted, drank, cajoled, breaking all the rules in the journalism textbook. Laced with juicy gossip and acerbic wit, this is an insider's view of a fabulous era.
