Synopsis

In 2000, when he ran for President on the Green Party ticket, nearly three million people voted for him. CRASHING THE PARTY goes deep inside Nader's campaign and revels: - What it takes to run against a two-party juggernaut - How old liberal friends turned against him - Why the Green Party looks better than ever to progressive Democrats - Why Bush and Gore were afraid to let him in on their debates - How public interest has been lost to corporate bankrolling

"If one political figure looks prophetic these days, it is Ralph Nader...[He is] America's most valuable and uncorrupted public citizen." -"The Boston Globe""[Ralph Nader] has the intensity of a lifelong crusader...Mr. Nader is right about how the major parties handicap competitors, how the media often dismiss them and how voters abandon them if they think they can't win." -"The Wall Street Journal"""Crashing the Party" couldn't have come at a more appropriate moment...a candid, whirlwind tour of America at a crossroads, seen through the eyes of a man who cares passionately about its future." -"San Francisco Chronicle""[Ralph Nader] makes, again, an excellent case for the need for another party and for a revitalized Democratic Party." -"Los Angeles Times"
