Collaboratively compiled and edited by Anthony Corrado (Professor of Government, Colby College), Thomas E. Mann (W. Averell Harriman Chair and Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution), and Trevor Potter (Nonresident Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institute), Inside The Campaign Finance Battle is a fascinating collection of court testimony and the legal odyssey surrounding the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, which was passed by Congress in 2002, and which was the first major revision of federal campaign finance law in a generation. The submitted testimony, once presented only to lawyers, political scientists, and others involved in the litigation, is now offered to all concerned readers looking to better understand how our government works and the struggles over how, or if the system is to be modified in the present and future. Inside The Campaign Finance Battle is very highly recommended -- and as timely as it is a welcome addition to Political Science Studies reference collections and reading lists.
