Synopsis: "May be the most sweeping and in many ways the most impressive portrait of the culture of the Federal Government to appear in a single work in many decides.... Knowledgeable and informative." THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW. Power is the name of the game. But until now, no one outside "the beltway" knew just who was wielding how much--and for what ends. Pulitzer Prize-winning, ex-Washington bureau chief of THE NEW YORK TIMES, Hedrick Smith, tells the whole story. From PACs to influence-peddling from the Pentagon to the WASHINGTON POST, THE POWER GAME reveals Congressional staffers more powerful than their bosses, media advisers more powerful than the media, and money that not only talks but threatens. It's all there, and it's all in here.
