by KerwinC.Swint (Author)

Synopsis

The phenomenon of negative campaigning is hardly new and is well established in American politics. Author, professor, and former political consultant Kerwin Swint looks back to the dawn of American politics, drawing from presidential, senatorial, gubernatorial (of or relating to a governor), and mayoral races, to select the 25 most low-down, smear-filled campaigns in U.S. history - including the 2004 battle between Bush and Kerry for presidency...This book offers a fascinating glimpse into American political culture!

Media Reviews
?The political historian who is intrigued by the down right nasty will be interested in Mudslingers. In the book Swint chronicles what he deems the 25 nastiest, dirtiest campaigns of all time. He includes examples from modern day and historical examples, illustrating the point that politics has always been dirty, it's in the nature of the game. The entries about each race are very complete, giving readers a full picture of the campaign, the attacks and the candidates. And each chapter is cleverly named based on facts about each race and allow readers to imagine the worst of politics.... Swint's book is an interesting look at campaigns through time and at what makes a campaign so negative.?-Campaigns & Elections
