I ve only read about a quarter of the book so far but it is very intriguing If you are interested in what has happened to politics in D C and why the populous is not being represented properly I would highly suggest this book The writing is informed and flows very well

Checked this out of the library I m half way through and must order it from Amazon Interesting informative and fun to read I spent 50 years as an engineer and always wondered how people made the big bucks without producing anything This book tells me one method to use Become a sycophant and schmoozer I m heavily into politics now and find this book one of the best as an informant for me

The book does a good job of describing the changes that have occurred in American governance over the last 40 years It s possible though that using the Cassidy story as the backbone of the book was a mistake The point of view of a lobbyist is not nearly as important as the point of view of a typical Congressperson There s a book remaining to be written that describes how a Congressperson s point of view has changed since WWII Kaiser s book addresses this POV only indirectly

This book opened my eyes to the corruption of OUR elected officials and who they really represent For years I felt in my gut that our leaders do not Legislate or represent those who may have voted for them Now I know what I kinda knew all along Read this book for a good eye opener WARNING It is not for the faint at heart
