Sam Coates, political correspondent for the London Times, named six top books about political scoundrels earlier this month.The list is of course U.K.-centric, and a mix of the factual and fictional.
Number six on Coates' list:
I haven't read the book, but the television version is brilliant stuff. Ian Richardson as "F.U." (as the tabloids like to call Francis Urquhart) is at the top of his game.House of Cards by Michael Dobbs
Francis Urquhart would stop at nothing to become PM in Thatcher-era satire.
Read Coates' entire list.
