Top Five Political Nonfiction Books

These are my top five favorite books written about politics and elections.

 

I'm a journalism nerd. I love reading books written by reporters and books about the craft. I especially like books about elections. So with Tuesday being election day across the country, here is my list of my favorite political books.

1. The Power  Game - Hedrick Smith

2. The Boys on the Bus - Tim Crouse

3. Boss - Mike Royko

4. What It Takes - Richard Ben Cramer

5. The Best and the Brightest - David Halberstam 

 

About this column: The Takoma Park Five is a list that will highlight a different category from people to sports to best weekend bets at noon Monday through Friday. Monday is sports, Tuesday is people, Wednesday is real estate, Thursday is the weekend and Friday is a wild card category, the best of the best.
