Jeffrey H. Birnbaum’s The Lobbyists exposes the world of Washington’s most influential players — the more than eighty thousand who descend upon our national government, informing and bartering with Congress and blocking legislation on behalf of the richest business interests in the country. This acclaimed work — now with a new introduction that analyzes the changes in lobbying in 1990s — provides a shocking view of how our government really works.

"Birnbaum strips away the secrecy and with riveting detail chronicles ‘the brazen manipulation of both lawmakers and the public’ by [the] lobbying industry."

— The Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Full of fresh insights, amply supported with detailed evidence." — The New York Times Book Review

"A useful book filled with fine anecdotes and details one has come to expect from the author, a veteran Wall Street Journal reporter." — Business Week
