Whatever It Takes: the Real Struggle for Political Power in America

by Elizabeth Drew

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Required reading on campaign reform" (The Boston Globe) and the real story behind the current campaign finance scandals from America's preeminent political reporter

Elizabeth Drew's book on campaign finance reform has been referred to throughout the Congressional committee investigation of campaign finance abuses. This "bible" of campaign reform not only has been instrumental in issuing subpoenas to people and groups at the hearings, but has single-handedly informed the electorate of the dark and hidden places in our political system.

In this provocative account of the real political clash of 1996 — the fight for the House of Representatives — Drew introduces us to a set of characters who had a huge impact on our politics and on the outcome of the election. With her access to back rooms and secret meetings she reveals the strategies conservative groups were willing to take to ensure victory in the House, and demonstrates conclusively that the revelations of abuses of the finance laws by the Clinton team cost the Democrats the House.

"A prime source for the Senate's probe into questionable fund-raising by Democrats and Republicans". — Los Angeles Times

"A valuable book on a political system moved by big money and clever manipulation". — Chicago Tribune
