A Choice Highly Recommended Title-January 2017

This book is an interpretive analysis of political campaigns in America: It investigates the role campaigns play and the close symbiosis between campaigns and our politics. In the process, the author shows how campaigns are an important manifestation of how we "do" politics in this country.

The text asks important questions like:

• How democratic are campaigns, and our politics, really?
• What is the relationship between the media and campaign professionals and what are the implications for the quality of reporting?
• What does the growth of "dark money" mean for our democracy and our politics?
