Description of Confessions of a Political Hitman |
An Inside Story from the Dark Side of Politics
An explosive political expose from one of the leading opposition-research assassins.
"Stephen, this has got to stop. You cannot continue doing this for a living, it's going to kill you," Dr. Butler told me in frustration.
In typical knee-jerk fashion, I spat back, "And what type of work is that, doctor?"
"Working on the dark side. You live in the shadows, digging up dirt on politicians. Living out of a suitcase, skulking around the country from state to state, keeping crazy hours at night, and feeling like a wild man every day. Who in their right mind does this kind of crap for a living?” He had a point.
Thus begins one of the most personal and revealing political exposes of our time, Confessions of a Political Hitman. For the past 12 years, Stephen Marks has built a career as one of the country's top opposition researchers-the political assassins who dig up and reveal the dirt on candidates.
This engrossing story follows Marks from his early days as a press secretary to his rapid movement into the secret world of opposition research. Initially drawn to the exciting work of finding and exposing the dirt politicians try to hide, he soon finds himself involved more and more in dirty tricks and deceptive manipulations. From creating ads linking John Kerry to Willie Horton, to fleeing Florida with the Mob on his trail, Marks finds himself living in a world he cannot escape.
Readers will discover not only a fascinating story, but unbelievable details about what really goes on behind the scenes in American political campaigns. Marks's stories cover a wide range of figures, including Buchanan, Gingrich, Gephardt, Kerry, Abramoff, Gore, Delay, Bush, Bloomberg and countless others.
