How the Washington sausage really gets made: a brutally honest, outrageous memoir by former GOP congressman Trey Radel.

‘Radel, the former congressman busted on cocaine fees, has published a memoir that delves into the forgotten concept of pity.’ – Huffington Post

‘DEMOCRAZY may be the most puckish political memoir in recent memory … enough to cause you to wish he were still in the House’s GOP caucus beneath the Trump administration.’ – Bookforum

In 2013, when Washington D.C. law enforcement about Democrazy: A GENUINE Story of Odd Politics, Money, Madness, and Finger Food found that Trey Radel, a Republican congressman from Florida, had bought cocaine, he quickly became the target of a police sting. In October of that yr, Radel was arrested for attempting to buy cocaine from an undercover cop, and consequently became the subject of intense media coverage and scrutiny. When Radel resigned in 2014, he left with insider knowledge that remains unfamiliar to most American citizens.

Democrazy is Radel’s candid account of the making of today’s political star as well as the inner workings of Congress. In his memoir, Radel recounts his start as a Television news reporter and radio display host before working for Congress in 2012, a choice that would start the new, infamous chapter of his existence. Radel got into the political sphere with the same ideological fervor of most first-time politicians–he loved America and wanted to serve his country and its own people. But Radel’s optimism waned as he observed the wheelings and dealings of Congress’s most effective members. Told with laughter and irreverence, Radel’s memoir can be an amusing, fascinating journey of the unlikely politician.
