An Oldie But a Goodie

The more things change the more they stay exactly the same especially in good old DC. For an in-depth understanding of K Street and the roots/early phases of corporate lobbying and the general dynamics involved in engaging PR for ANY customer at ANY price this is the most insightful book I have read on the subject. A general study in how to make money at any price where the bag of money justifies any ends...I would almost change the title of this book "How to Succeed in the Modern Corporate Work Force." Still, for an inside-look at how corporate lobbyist bought and paid for our Congress decades ago (won't get this on C-SPAN) this book is highly recommended to inform that evolution of corruption.
