Draining the Swamp
It's time someone changed this town. Our heroine — the beautiful, young, idealist Justine Swensen — is headed to Washington, DC to find a place where she can truly make a difference. She'll work behind the scenes from the bottom of the legislative branch to the top of the executive. She'll exert pressure as an external consultant and non-profit leader. And she'll meet with journalists, think tanks, and lobbyists before finally running for political office herself. Follow her thirty-year career as she meets funny, inspiring, and infuriating bureaucrats. After navigating these Kafkaesque mazes with Justine, you'll learn the moral of her story too.

More From the Critics
Draining the Swamp, "doubles as a sort of American civics textbook, explaining the functions of each agency while adding the spice of insider knowledge. … It’s bookended with references to Ayn Rand’s brand of libertarianism, which provides philosophical power to the concluding moral. … [I]ts crisp dialogue...and deep knowledge of Washington's inner workings make it an edifying read." — Kirkus Review
"A skillful and talented writer, Ed Gibney's "Draining The Swamp" belongs to a muckraker tradition as exemplified by such American authors as Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle" (the meatpacking industry) or Sinclair Lewis' "Elmer Gantry" (organized religion). A deftly written and riveting read from beginning to end, "Draining The Swamp" is highly recommended."
