Focusing on the evolution of Washington, D.C., the narrative intertwines the histories of three distinct families: the Cafritzes, a real estate dynasty; the politically influential Boggs family; and the Hobsons, led by a prominent black activist. Through their stories, the book examines the customs of elite society, the growth of federal bureaucracy, and the ongoing struggle for self-governance in a city shaped by politics and lobbying. Veteran journalist Burt Solomon vividly illustrates the complexities of the capital's development over the past century.
