We all know the names of the last US presidents, but who were the masterminds that catapulted them into the highest echelon of power?

Go behind the scenes for an honest look at the way a handful of exceptional political operatives manipulated, cajoled, and maneuvered their way through the political battlefield of presidential elections. Discover who they are, deep down; where they come from and the goals and fears driving them.

With nicknames like "Bad Boy", "the Ragin' Cajun," "the Architect," and "the Axe", they left a trail of victims in their paths. To some they are heroes, to others, villains. We cannot fully understand history without understanding them.

Behind the Curtain of Power is the fascinating story of the political masterminds that orchestrated victories in the toughest race in the world - and changed America.
