This is worth 5 stars. This is a fine account of the Americans that moved to Washington, a small Southern city at the outset of the Second World War and went to work for the quickly growing government in the era of carbon paper, manual typewriters and wartime shortages of all manner of consumer goods. The transformation of the District is chronicled by David Brinkley in a fine style.
