Corruption of American Politics What Went Wrong and Why Author: Drawing on her superb skills as a probing journalist and shrewd analyst, Washington reporter Elizabeth Drew details precisely how money and ideology, as well as a lower quality of politicians and lower standards of political behavior, have debased American politics over the past twenty-five years. Wise, insightful, and timely, The Corruption ... more » offers invaluable suggestions as to how we can restore our government to be responsive to the needs of its citizens. "[Drew] nimbly brings to life the machinations on Capitol Hill and the White House with fresh perspective, behind-the-scenes detail and convincing analysis. . . . In fact, Drew's examination of campaign finance makes a compelling narrative."--Richard L. Berke, The New York Times Book Review ". . . one of the most skillfully written, as well as insightful, looks inside the Beltway to appear in a very long time."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "There is no one better on Washington than Elizabeth Drew."--Joan Didion "What Rachel Carson was to the nascent environmental movement of the 1960s, Drew is to the campaign finance reform movement of the 1990s. . . . [A] profoundly important and disturbing work . . . Elegant, magisterial, and persuasive, this book establishes Drew as the political conscience of the nation."--Library Journal
