JIM LEHRER
SUMMARY  |  EXCERPT   |  AUTHOR'S NOTE   |  QUOTES

"Edge-of-the-seat reading."
The Dallas Morning News

"A page-turner."
Publisher's Weekly

"Skillfully plotted and intelligently wrought."
The Washington Post Book World

"When it comes to writing political thrillers, Jim Lehrer may be the ultimate insider-outsider."
The Washington Post

"A masterful study of journalism, politics, the media, ethics, and the human condition prevailing in spite of everything."
Library Journal

"Should be required reading in journalism schools from Maine to Mexico."
Minneapolis Star Tribune

"A provocative novel that addresses a fundamental and hotly debated question about the role and power of the press: Is its job simply to report the facts, or do journalists have the right--perhaps even the obligation--to influence the political process through personal activism."
The Houston Chronicle
