Review by Library Journal Review

Cofounder and CEO of Politico and now cofounder and CEO/Chair of Axios, which offers breaking news on business, technology, and politics, VandeHei must have an eye for the "smart brevity" recommended in this writing and communications manifesto for the information age. The publisher's big book of the year.
