BETRAYAL How Union Bosses Shake Down Their Members and Corrupt American Politics

Calling the Democratic National Party a "subsidiary" of unions, Chavez is prepared to take no prisoners. Appalled at the amount of financial and other support given by unions to Democratic candidates, she leaves no doubt as to her antipathy toward union bosses and what she considers their inappropriate access to governmental officials. Theresa Long narrates clearly and smoothly without letting the invective of the text take over. Although the book's themes are set out repeatedly, Long is able to keep the narration moving forward. She brings a sense of evenhandedness to this otherwise partisan and strident book. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 04/ JAN 05]
