In this novel of political intrigue, Pulitzer Prize finalist Ward Just captures the best and brightest of Washington amid turmoil of the sixties and its repercussions twenty years later. In the City of Fear follows the intersecting lives of a good congressman, his good wife, and the good wife's lover, an infantry colonel whose memories of the war, and a secret plot concocted by the Washington power brokers to win it, are more than he can bear.
"Just bids to be considered the political novelist of his generation. He may even be considered for a rarer title, that of national novelist." -- New York Times Book Review
"A brilliant, ambitious, and subtle novel about Vietnam." -- David Bradley - Philadelphia Inquirer
"Just pours art, passion, and intelligence into his book…His language radiates. Just's style may be among the most elegant available to a contemporary American writer." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer
