Those who pay attention to Washington politics know K Street as the domain of federal lobbyists and influence peddlers seeking to advance the priorities of their clients and even entire movements.
But how did this industry transform from a barely relevant entity to the powerhouse we know today?
In “The Wolves of K Street,” two veteran investigative journalists trace the rise of the modern lobbying industry through the three dynasties that have enabled corporate interests to infiltrate American politics and undermine our democracy.
Taking readers from the early 1970s to the current moment, “The Wolves of K Street” paints an eye-opening portrait — sometimes comical, sometimes infuriating — of the men (because it is mostly men) who have turned a once-inconsequential street into a title synonymous with insider politics.
