Washington Burning transports us in time to the veryfounding of our nation and its capital. We learn that theWashington we know might never have come to be had it not been forthe destruction of the young city by British troops in 1814, or forPierre Charles L'Enfant, the eccentric, passionate, difficultarchitect who fell in love with his adopted country.

From the bestselling and PEN/Faulkner Award-winning author ofNetherland, a fascinating, personal, and beautifully crafted familyhistory. Joseph O'Neill's grandfathers--one Turkish, one Irish--were bothimprisoned for suspected subversion during the Second World War.The Irish grandfather, a handsome rogue from a family of smallfarmers, was an active member of the IRA. O'Neill's othergrandfather, a debonair hotelier from the tiny and threatenedTurkish Christian minority, was interned by the British inPalestine on suspicion of being an Axis spy. With intellect, compassion, and grace, O'Neill sets the storiesof these individuals against the history of the last century's mostinhuman events.
