Through seven best-selling editions, Behind the Scenes in American
Government has been introducing students to individuals who constitute the
lifeblood of American politics, people whose lives comprise the "inside story"
of American government. And now the eighth edition, refreshed with sixteen
new selections, continues to show the effects of character and personality
on politics.
Exciting new articles include:
~ A portrayal of Lee Atwater, "the bad boy of American politics"
~ Garry Wills s consideration of Dan Quayle as a future U.S. president
~ A selection on contemporary black politicians
~ A fascinating account of the role of PACs in the battle for clean air
~ A political consultant s first-hand description of negative campaigning
~ Peggy Noonan s behind-the-scenes account of how she, a female
speechwriter, coped with a detached president and an overbearing
White House staff
~ A first-person account of a young congressional candidate who challenged
a well-respected incumbent
An Instructor s Manual, written by the author, is also available.
