KEY This volume chronicles the changes in leadership in Washington accompanying the first Democratic administration in 12 years. It describes how changes in technology, especially in the mass media, have inspired challenges to established elites.

Reviews

[Ryan · Rating 3 out of 5]

a well-researched regurgitation of what most critical newsreaders already know.

[Ben · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good overview of power and class in America. G. William Domhoff's 'Who Rules America?' is much better, however.
