"Crashing the Party: How to tell the truth and still run for President"
by Ralph Nader
Nader's latest book takes us inside his campaign and explains what it took to fight the two-party juggernaut; why
Bush and Gore were really afraid to let him in on their debates; why progressive Democrats have been left behind
and ignored by their party; how Democrat and Republican interests have been lost to corporate bankrolling; and
what needs to happen in the future for people to take back their political system. With humor and insight, Crashing
the Party is the one honest retelling of what unfolded over the course of the 2000 campaign and about the Green
Party's role (as 60 Minutes' Mike Wallace called it - "the only campaign with a pulse").
Nader
rips campaign coverage, by Eli Sanders of the Seattle Times.
