Grand Illusion

As the national campaign manager for Ralph Nader's runs for president in 2000 and 2004, Theresa Amato had a rare ringside role in the last two hotly contested presidential elections. The only woman ever to have managed two high-profile American presidential campaigns, she gives readers both an inside look at and a witty, thoughtful critique of the American electoral system, shattering the myth that anyone can grow up and run for president.
