"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 decdes....Konwledeable and informative."THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWPower 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.

It's all there, and it's all in here.
