- Summary:
- "At the dawn of the twentieth century, Lincoln Steffens, an internationally known and respected political insider, revolutionized the field of journalism with his stunning exposes for McClure's Magazine. Credited as the proverbial father of muckraking reporting, Steffens quickly rose to the top of McClure's ream of investigative journalists by using his knack for tireless probing to battle government and corporate corruption at the highest levels." -- from book jacket.
