C Street

Jeff Sharlet

In Jeff Sharlet's bestselling book The Family he wrote about the 'C Street House' a Washington D.C. Christian fellowship home shared by a number of conservative politicians. In the summer of 2009 the house became infamous as the centre of sex scandals involving three of its residents: Senator John Ensign Governor Mark Sanford and Congressman Chip Pickering.

Sharlet is the leading expert on 'the Family' and his undercover research and investigative work answers some of the country's biggest questions: how political fundamentalism endures in America; why despite the collapse of the old Christian Right it is as big a threat to democracy as ever before; and where in a time of political upheaval and culture wars fundamentalist politicians really intend to lead the country
