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 Congresssure 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.

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 timelyrevealing 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.
