Bush’s involvement in the Iraq War, and Ken Starr’s investigation of Bill Clinton. He has authored six books, including the most current release with Glasser, and is a political analyst on MSNBC.
A founder and editor of Politico Magazine, Susan Glasser is a staff writer for The New Yorker and scribes a weekly column on the President and Washington DC. She has also served in a range of roles for the Washington Post during her career, including as editor of Outlook and national news and co-Moscow Bureau chief along with Baker. She has authored of two books and serves as a global affairs analyst for CNN.
“The Man Who Ran Washington” chronicles both the life of one of America’s most influential political figures and the evolution of America’s Republican party from one of fiscal conservatism to the populist incarnation of Donald Trump.
