Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The BBC's Washington correspondent goes under the skin of the nation's capital to discover the paradox of the world's last remaining superpower. A city so rich it spends 150 million dollars a year on corporate lunches, dinners and fundraisers, and yet so poor that its streets are frequently as potholed as those of any forgotten backwater in the developing world. Frei has won several awards for his journalism including the Amnesty International Asia Award.
