'American Politician' Summary
Set in 1880s Boston, 'American Politician' follows John Harrington, a young idealist who enters the world of American politics with a strong belief in truth and justice. However, he quickly learns that the political landscape is riddled with corruption and partisan maneuvering. As he campaigns for a Senate seat, Harrington faces fierce opposition from powerful business interests who benefit from protectionist trade policies. His unwavering commitment to free trade and his refusal to play the political game make him a target for sabotage. Despite the obstacles, Harrington eventually wins the election and delivers a powerful speech to Congress, urging for a more principled approach to governance and a rejection of blind partisanship.Book Details
