"Sinclair's book sheds a sheen of light on American politics as a whole, allows one to understand the background of Roosevelt's activities and the obstacles standing in his way. The sensational backstage of American politics, - the most direct forms of corruption, the colossal agitation-propaganda apparatus, with enormous financial resources, monopolized almost entirely in the hands of reaction, in none of the previous books by Sinclair, who, after all, already has an established reputation as an expositor - has yet shown us so clearly. This, almost dry chronicle of the election, is more sensational than many a 'sensational' novel." [publisher's note]
