CNN anchor and illegal immigration critic Lou Dobbs supports doubling or tripling immigration levels, Montana senator Jon Tester calls primary challenges to incumbents "useful," and a global warming fight being waged by shareholders is making more gains than anyone in Washington. These are only a few of the revelations in David Sirota's eye-opening and important new book, THE UPRISING: An Unauthorized Tour of the Populist Revolt Scaring Wall Street and Washington (Crown/May 27, 2008).  David Sirota is a nationally syndicated columnist & New York Times bestselling author who The American Prospect says is the kind of reporter "you'd like to have on your side in a knife fight and wouldn't want to cross in a dark alley."

The Uprising is all new, firsthand investigative reporting from across the country, showing how populism has become a dominant political force in both national and local politics. Sirota takes us far from the media spotlight into the trenches where real change is happening-from the headquarters of the most powerful third party in America to the bowels of the U.S. Senate; from the auditorium of an ExxonMobil shareholder meeting to the quasi-military staging area of a vigilante force on the Mexican border. This uprising is now playing a pivotal role in the 2008 presidential election campaign, through the heated debate over immigration, the Obama and Clinton NAFTA dialogue, and the competition to prove who has better anti-Iraq war credibility. Sirota's journey aims to find out whether these battles will transform the populist uprising into a full-fledged movement.
