Having spent his life with one foot in the sports arena and the additional in the political arena, Allen brings his unique perspective and experiences to What Washington Can Learn From the World of Sports. Through personal tales, anecdotes, and interviews, Allen draws both parallels and contrasts between two of our nation’s favorite passions.
