Down & Dirty by Jake Tapper
What happened in Florida after the 2000 presidential election revealed the ugliest side of American politics. Journalist Jake Tapper takes the reader inside the post-election vote-trolling and the battle for the presidency. The book explains exactly how the Bush forces out-manoeuvred the Gore team, from the courtrooms to the canvassing boards, from the press rooms to the corridors of legislature. Tapper paints vivid portraits of the major players - Supreme Court justices, local judges, lawyers, spinners, activists and voters. Drawing on insider information and interviews, he reveals shocking details about what happened behind closed doors, what deals were cut and who did what: he also offers an insight into the two men at the centre of it all - Bush and Gore.
Jake Tapper is Washington correspondent for Salon.com. His reporting on the 2000 presidential race was described by the Boston Globe as 'a steady stream of smart, wry coverage of the presidential campaign'.
