IN THE AFTERMATH OF WATERGATE Irving Wallace’s THE MAN is more pertinent than ever!

«It is a book that speaks the Washington language we speak; whose characters breathe the official air we breathe… that understands our government -its importance, its pettiness, its complexities, vagaries, shortcomings, and its greatness A MASTERPIECE OF THE STORYTELLING ART.» -Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill

«The reading pleasure is immense. The theme is powerful . . . The Man is cast upon a gigantic canvas . . . Should be required reading for the candidates of both parties.» -Denver Post

«Huge, turbulent, enthralling. It will grip [readers] with its taut and hard-driving story, and in so doing will lift the veil on Washington infighting.» -John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate

«As timely as the next newscast, as explosive as a Molotov cocktail… A remarkable novel. It is difficult to conceive that any American could be indifferent to this book and its challenge.»-Milwaukee Journal «Fast-paced, exciting. With a huge cast of characters and one crisis after another, this makes an absorbing story.»-The New York Post «The story moves and is moving. Indeed this is a very moral book-impressive in its scope and feeling.»-Los Angeles Times
