Political Brokers

Here, for the first time, are both the day-to-day operations and the long-term objectives of key Washington organizations. Here are the names of hundreds of people who, though largely unknown to the public, take in and spend millions of dollars in campaign years to propel their chosen candidates to Congress or the White House. Big business, big labor, the medical lobby, John Gardner's Common Causeall are covered in depth. Political Brokers goes behind the facts to unmask the subtle pressures and patterns of influence which bear upon our elected officials. For the student of politics, the political activist, or simply a concerned citizen, Political Brokers is essential reading today.
