Non-Fiction Political
For more than four decades, polarized politics in America
has been driven by a vicious scandal machine comprised of
partisan politicians, extremists on the left and right, and
a sensationalist media energized by bringing public
officials down. In this sorely needed book Lanny Davis, who
has been in the belly of the beast as Special Counsel to the
Clinton White House, explains--starting with historical
scandals like Alexander Hamilton's extramarital affairs and
moving on to the unsurpassable Watergate and beyond--how we
reached this sorry state. Davis tells us how this poisonous
atmosphere is damaging not just politics but American
society as a whole. Davis also offers hope by revealing how
a coalition of centrist politicians focusing on core
policies that appeal to the frustrated electorate marooned
in the middle can pull us back from the brink.
