The Advance Man an Offbeat Look at What Really Happens in

The Advance Man an Offbeat Look at What Really Happens in Political Campaigns

This may be the most honest book about politics ever written. In it, Jerry Bruno. one of the practicing masters of American politics, tells what he does-and how he does it-to help create much of the drama, color, and excitement of political campaigns. Bruno was with John Kennedy from the small towns of Wisconsin in 1960 to Dallas in November of 1963. He was with Robert Kennedy for three years and was chief advance man for RFK's Presidential campaign. He has watched Lyndon Johnson and Hubert Humphrey with the eyes of an expert. In this book Jerry Bruno explains how men who seek political office can turn voters on and off. He writes with candor and bluntness rare among political pros. His memories of feuds and foul-upsdomestic and international-arc hilarious. And his observations on the state of politics today are refreshingly original. It's possible you won't like the kind of politics Jerry Bruno has practiced. You may even think campaigns should be run very differently. But if you care about how they're run now-if you want to know what really happens behind the political scenes-The Advance Man is required reading.
