Reviews

For more than 50 years, Joe Miller worked behind the scenes in the Pacific Northwest and Washington, D.C., as a journalist, campaign insider, lobbyist, and fixer. Along the way, he was an astute, acerbic, and highly interested observer of the political process. Stephen Ponder, author of Managing the Press Rarely does a memoir deal so candidly and engagingly with political campaigns and influence peddling. He provides illuminating, and often delightful, vignettes of such political heavyweights as Lyndon Johnson, Magnuson, Kennedy, William Proxmire, Robert Byrd, Quentin Burdick, and Barry Goldwater. Miller's insider accounts of legislative battles and political campaigns are invariably absorbing and illustrative of the way that politics really works. LeRoy Ashby, author of Fighting the Odds: The Life of Senator Frank Church
