It isn't the positions Strauss held that make his story fascinating; it is what he represented about the culture of Washington in his day. He was a master of the art of knowing everyone who mattered and getting things done. Based on exclusive access to Strauss, "The Whole Damn Deal" brings to life a vanished epoch of working behind the scenes, political deal-making, and successful bipartisanship in Washington.

Description

The ultimate Democratic Party power broker. He knew everybody that mattered and he was everybody's friend. Barbara Bush even praised him (sort of). Somebody once asked him what he liked best about his career, he said "I liked the whole damn deal". The book is in fine, unread condition. The author has dated and signed on the title page (no inscription).

Book collector for over 30 years. I'm retired and ready to sell. I buy almost exclusively from estate sales and since I've lived in Dallas my whole life, I know the people and where to go. I am a low volume collector and seller and deal in higher quality books. I have a lot of signed and inscribed books. These signatures have not been officially authenticated, but I am confident in their authenticity so I will guarantee them in perpetuity if it can be reasonably demonstrated that the signature is incorrect. .
