Manuel Roig-Franzia

Not even Marco Rubio’s rivals dispute the fact that he is going far in American politics.  In The Rise of Marco-Rubio (Simon & Schuster, $25.00) foreign and national correspondent, Manuel Roig-Franzia, draws on hundreds of interviews and documents to chronicle the meteoric rise of Florida’s junior senator, whose story begins under a thatch roof in rural Cuba and leads to national prominence.  Roig-Franzia is a reporter for The Washington Post, where he served as the paper’s national bureau chief in Miami and foreign bureau chief in Mexico City.  He currently writes for The Washington Post’s Style section, exploring politics, power and the culture of Washington, and profiling major political figures and authors.
