The Argument: Inside the Battle to Remake Democratic Politics

Widely cited by journalists and bloggers as the man to read to understand the political races, "New York Times Magazine" writer Matt Bai has written a book about the Democratic Party that's as riveting as it is timely and vital. "The Argument" takes readers to the front lines of the grassroots progressive movement that is seizing power from the party's weakened D.C. establishment, capturing a colorful cast of donors and power brokers struggling to articulate a direction: an "argument." The result is a fascinating, uniquely candid look at present-day politics.
