"In the tradition of his friend Richard Ben Cramer, Matt Bai astonishes us by delving deeply into a story and thus overturning our views about how the press should cover politics. This fascinating and deeply significant tale shows how the rules of American politics and journalism were upended for the worse by the frenzied coverage of Gary Hart's personal life. The soot still darkens our political process."
--Walter Isaacson, author of "Steve Jobs"
"A finely written, strikingly mature and thoughtful revisitation of the tawdry episode that destroyed Gary Hart's promising political career. It would have been enough for Matt Bai just to tell that story, or to assess what it cost those directly involved, including the journalists sucked into it, but he goes much further, weighing its profound cost to us all. "All the Truth Is Out" is in the impressive tradition of "Nixon Agonistes", only with a dramatic personal narrative at its core. I could not admire it more."
--Mark Bowden, author of "Black Hawk Down"
"Digging deep into a long-ago, mis-remembered scandal, Matt Bai has written an acutely intelligent and surprisingly moving page-turner about Gary Hart, journalistic blindness, and the trivialization of American politics."
--George Packer, author of "The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America

"Gary Hart. Remember him: the presidential contender who rode a boat named "Monkey Business" into a media whirlpool? You should, as [this] book...makes clear. And the reason isn't so much the scandal that swallowed him or his particular exit from the campaign arena. It's the warning that his story sounded--about a new brutality on the campaign trail, about uncharted waters of media invasiveness and about the way both would wind up culling the herd, not in favor of the strongest candidates but in favor of those so driven or vacuous that the caress of the spotlight redeems the indignities of the process."

"Bai's title embodies the wry humor and empathy that makes "All the Truth Is Out" such a compelling read...The truth Bai is after is something larger and more substantial.

"The kerfuffle about alleged sexual impropriety that torpedoed Gary Hart's presidential bid in 1987 drove an uncommonly promising leader from public life. It also helped to spawn the 'gotcha' journalism that has ever since sacrificed propriety and substance on the altars of prurience and sleaze. Fueled by a keen reverence for the finest traditions of his craft, Matt Bai revisits the sorry tale of Hart's humiliation to measure the depths of journalism's debasement today, and the harm it continues to inflict on American democracy."
--David M. Kennedy, author of "The American Pageant"
"What makes "All the Truth Is Out" such an extraordinary achievement is that the reader is spellbound by every unfolding detail, in the manner of a crime novel--even while, as Matt Bai makes all too clear, the true crime of the Gary Hart saga is how politics and journalism descended hand in hand into a 'gotcha' netherworld from whence it's unlikely to return."
--Robert Draper, author of "When the Tea Party Came to Town

""All the Truth Is Out" offers a terrific portrait of how news gets made...It's riveting, a slow-motion car crash...[with] shrewd observations on the miserable state of contemporary political journalism (and politicians)....The media, as Hart experienced, pick and choose raw material from an individual life and fashion an image that often bears only a slim resemblance to the human being behind it. What matters is not who someone really is or what he has done. What matters is the symbolic need he meets."

--"L. A. Times"
"An introspective book that is set in another era but offers insights into ours...Bai says what is obvious--that the Donna Rice furor irreparably hurt Hart--but he also says what is less obvious, and very wise: that it hurt us all."
--"The Boston Globe"
"If you think you know what happened to Gary Hart, read this book....A volume of insight and wisdom, an uncommon page-turner about the turning points we don't recognize until we're too far beyond them to turn back."

In buoyant, vivid prose..."All the Truth Is Out"gives the reader a visceral appreciation of how our political discourse has changed in the last two and a half decades, and how those changes reflect broader cultural and social shifts .Mr. Bai adroitly shows us how an array of forces was converging to change the dynamics of political coverage.
Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times
" Compelling .Bai s superb book provokes many questions, and I gulped it down in a single sitting.

" A miniclassic of political journalism that will restart the debate of 1987.
" "Jack Shafer, "The New York Times Book Review"
If you like political thrillers, if you like dramatic novels about the world of power and personality, you re going to love the new book "All the Truth Is Out."
"The Michael Medved Show"
Bai doesn t just make an argument: He tells the juicy Hart story all over again, right down to the oil-stained alley in which reporters cornered the candidate and interrogated him about the blonde in his apartment. Bai s important call for perspective is a reminder to all of us in the press and the electorate to recognize the complexity of the human co...
Reseña del editor
Yahoo's national political columnist and the former chief political correspondent forThe New York Times Magazine brilliantly revisits the Gary Hart affair and looks at how it changed forever the intersection of American media and politics.
In 1987, Gary Hart-articulate, dashing, refreshingly progressive-seemed a shoo-in for the Democratic nomination for president and led George H. W. Bush comfortably in the polls. And then: rumors of marital infidelity, an indelible photo of Hart and a model snapped near a fatefully named yacht (Monkey Business), and it all came crashing down in a blaze of flashbulbs, the birth of 24-hour news cycles, tabloid speculation, and late-night farce. Matt Bai shows how the Hart affair marked a crucial turning point in the ethos of political media-and, by extension, politics itself-when candidates' "character" began to draw more fixation than their political experience. Bai offers a poignant, highly original, and news-making reappraisal of Hart's fall from grace (and overlooked political legacy) as he makes the compelling case that this was the moment when the paradigm shifted-private lives became public, news became entertainment, and politics became the stuff of Page Six.
