Incredible read. It's very concise and to the point. Senator Whitehouse holds no punches and calls out, by name, some very startling truths. If you've ever wondered about the inner workings of lobbyists in Congress or if you just don't understand how a politician could possibly deny climate change in 2019, you need to read this book. If you appreciate books that "show their work", then this one will be right up your alley. It has over 50 pages of references and backs up the author when they make a claim. Everyone should be skeptical when reading books on government and politics. Captured allows the reader to check on each and every truth put forward. I cannot recommend this book highly enough! It should be read by anyone with even a passing interest in American politics.

so much useful information, but felt like it was written for a Republican audience - every criticism was sandwiched with flattery and reassurances of blamelessness

This book is just a longer version of the AP Government Campaign Finance test

Inspired to read this by Sen. Whitehouse's dark money tutorial during the 10/13/2020 Amy Coney Barrett confirmation hearing.

This book still holds up after 4 years of Trump, and is the best book I've read by any current officeholder. If you haven't seen them, look up the Senator's speeches about the Supreme Court ("The Scheme").
