For some background, the book is all original, firsthand investigative reporting on populism on both the Right and Left. I traveled all over the country - from the Mexican border in California, to YearlyKos in Vegas and Chicago, to the state capital in Albany, to Seattle for a unionization drive to sneaking into the ExxonMobil shareholder meeting in Dallas. There are a number of newsy nuggets in the book, including some pretty tough statements from one Democratic senator about the value of primary-ing incumbents.


You can pre-order the book at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders, Tattered Cover, Powell's, or through your local independent bookstore.
