Five notable books on Congress in crisis

One title on the Barnes & Noble Review's list of five top books on Congress in crisis:

This Town: Two Parties and a Funeral
by Mark Leibovich

Networking at a funeral would be considered obscene in most cities. But most cities are not Washington, as New York Times chief national correspondent Mark Leibovich affirms in his muckraking chronicle of the ultra-motivated governmental elite of D.C. Following the so-called power mourners handing out business cards at Meet the Press's Tim Russert's funeral, Leibovich exposes the overt corruption and opportunism that exist in our nation's capital -- and why they may mark the lowest point in our congressional history.
