Burning
at the
Grassroots

Inside the
Dean Machine

"Blunt, honest, hard-hitting... a great read about a campaign that transformed American politics." Steve Grossman, chairman, Dean campaign and former chairman, Democratic National Committee.
"A most engaging, candid, and well-written study of the hell-for-leather primary campaign of Dr. Howard Dean." Howard Frank Mosher, author of "Stranger in the Kingdom" and "Waiting for Teddy Williams".

Recent and Upcoming Radio (and TV) Appearances by Dana Dunnan

In conjunction with the "Booking for Barack" book tour, the author is also doing radio appearances where he will discuss his new book, "Burning at the Grass Roots: Inside the Dean machine". Dana will also discuss how events in the book relate to the current political environment as it unfolds day-by-day. The current climate of hate and fear as presented at the recent Republican National Convention is a topic that is on all of our minds. Dana also feels that the mainstream media does not adequately cover certain events, while giving too much coverage to others. This was true during Howard Dean's Presidential bid in the primaries, and it is even more apparent now. The Swift Boat allegations and the recent Ben Barnes revelations are good examples of this lopsided behavior by the press. This, and other topical subjects will be covered during Dunnan's radio appearances. Be sure to listen in:
