"Around the world, Washington, DC, is known for its powerful government, majestic monuments, and world-renowned museums . . . the fabric of the city isn't solely embedded in its callous political parties, exhausting lawmaking policies, and rampant tourism. Rather, it's woven through its rich and complex history, mysterious relics, underground societies, forgotten and abandoned buildings, and controversial scandals. From the assassinations of Presidents Abraham Lincoln and James Garfield and Francis Scott Key's son, to crimes of passion and rage at the US Capitol, 'Secret Washington, DC' uncovers many of the dark and untold truths of how our nation emerged.
