Ronald Brownstein's The Second Civil War and John Harwood and Gerald F. Seib's Pennsylvania Avenue each attempt to explain what the authors see as the gridlock and polarization that characterize contemporary American politics. Brownstein's historical approach provides much needed perspective, while Harwood and Seib's elite interviews offer an inside glimpse on how deals get done (or not) in Washington.
