From the jacket flaps, "The foibles of human ambition and stupidity and the grandeur of political and personal integrity are woven into this block-busting novel of national and international crisis. Writing with the skill and insight of one who was himself a Washington correspondent for 20 years, Mr, Drury carries forward the deservedly popular characters of his Pulitzer-Prize winning "Advise and Consent," and its sequel, "A Shade of Difference." He adds to his fascinating gallery a major portrait of Walter Dobius, a famous Washington columnist whose views and prejudices have great influence on his colleagues of the communications media. Mr. Drury describes the way that men like Walter Dobius gain international fame and use it in attempts to sway both the domestic and foreign policies of the United States. Mr. Drury poses one of the most fundamental questions facing America today: how justifiably - or irresponsibly - do American press, television and radio attempt to interfere with, and control, the politial process and the foreign policy of the nation? . . . . But more important than any other consideration in this controversial and fiercely satiric novel is this basic issue: How much do Walter Dobius and his colleagues of press, television, and radio influence America's policies - and what is their right to do so ?"
