In \u003ci\u003eRemains of the Day\u003c\/i\u003e, former CIA officer turned historian John C.

Whether it’s the grave of a disgraced French prime minister, the final resting place of Robert F. Kennedy’s campaign manager, or the haunting epitaph of a defiant LGBTQ veteran, these pages chronicle a city of the dead that tells us more about the living than any official monument.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part guidebook, part biography, and part social history, \u003ci\u003eRemains of the Day\u003c\/i\u003e is an unforgettable celebration of the people—famous and obscure, beloved and reviled—who made Washington what it is today.
