recommends it for: politicoes
Wallace's e-book (that is now in one of his short story collections) is a fascinating portrayal of John McCain's 2000 presidential campaign. It shows both the man himself and the crush of people looking to build him up and cut him down. An old-fashioned, black and white story that shows the true nature of politics today.

The title essay is the heartbreaking story of John McCain as he gets chewed up and spat out by the political process.
