Review
"If one political figure looks prophetic these days, it is Ralph Nader...[He is] America's most valuable and uncorrupted public citizen." -
The Boston Globe"[Ralph Nader] has the intensity of a lifelong crusader...Mr. Nader is right about how the major parties handicap competitors, how the media often dismiss them and how voters abandon them if they think they can't win." -The Wall Street Journal
"Crashing the Party couldn't have come at a more appropriate moment...a candid, whirlwind tour of America at a crossroads, seen through the eyes of a man who cares passionately about its future." -San Francisco Chronicle
"[Ralph Nader] makes, again, an excellent case for the need for another party and for a revitalized Democratic Party." -Los Angeles Times
Synopsis
In his scathing, honest account of the 2000 presidential race, Nader takes aim at those who have spoiled American democracy.
Crashing the Party goes deep inside Nader's campaign and reveals:
-- What it takes to run against a two-party juggernaut
-- How old liberal friends turned against him
-- Why the Green Party looks better than ever to progressive Democrats
-- Why Bush and Gore were afraid to let him in on their debates
-- How public interest has been lost to corporate bankrolling.
