A history of twenty-five years of Republican attempts to hold on to political power by any means necessary by a Washington Post political columnist.

What The Reviewers Say

Christopher Buckley,
The Washington Post
As readers of The Washington Post and his syndicated column know, Dana Milbank covers politics with snap and crackle. His gift, and his dogged reporting, serve him well in his new book.
CLAUDE MARX,

If you’ve ever wanted to permanently freeze your television on MSNBC or be locked in the network’s greenroom, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank has written the book for you.
RON ELVING,
NPR
Milbank takes so many individual Republicans to task in this volume that one wonders: Do those not mentioned feel left out?.

Publishers Weekly
... an excoriating history of the Republican Party.
