"Washington, D. C. (1967)" is the sixth historical novel by Gore Vidal (although the first published) in his "Narratives of Empire" series. It begins in 1937 and continues into the Cold War tracing the families of Senator James Burden Day and Blaise Sanford.

This book is the least historical and most novel of any of the seven books. Book 7 in the series The Golden Age (Gore Vidal novel) takes place during nearly the same span of years with many of the same characters, and needed to be written around the events of Washington D.C.
