About This Item

"Over the years, this book has become a classic of Beltway double-dealing, intrigue, power-hunger, and blackmail, in which a conservative, married senator is threatened to be outed over his gay past, prophetically showing how political gay-baiting hasn't changed much over the last half-century. The book was made into a powerful 1962 movie. The book is bound in gray cloth covers with die-stamped blue and red spine titles. The book is tightly bound, with slight offsetting to the endpapers."
