Condition Continued:  And the author's signature is the only writing to be found anywhere. There are 16 pages of photographs. They are all in excellent condition. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It is in very decent shape. It has two tiny edge tears, one off the front top edge and one off the front bottom edge. There's also a thin crease off the front top edge and a little crinkling at the spine ends. The white jacket is very clean. So are the flaps which are in very good condition, no issues. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. I have it in a fitted protective cover.

Harper &  Row, New York, 1986. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. Written by David A. Stockman. Stated First Edition with Number Line to 1. Flat-signed by the author on the half-title page. ISBN: 0060155604. 

From the dust jacket: 'In The Triumph of Politics, David Stockman brings us a front-line report of the miscalculations, head-on collisions, secret manipulations, and alliances, that led to the failure of the Reagan Revolution. In this remarkably candid account, we participate in economic strategy sessions and private meetings with the President, cabinet members, White House staff, and congressional leaders. We see Caspar Weinberger shrewdly defending every dime on his defense budget; Alexander Haig fighting 'in the national interest' to protect every State Department job; Donald Regan, as Secretary of the Treasury, trying to 'read'  the President and totally misreading the gathering economic crisis; and Edwin Meese moving the President toward easy accommodation rather than hard choices. This is an insider's revelation of what happens when a radical ideology backed by the power of the Presidency runs headlong into the world of personal rivalries and special interests and ignores our continuous national tradition of accommodation and compromise. In telling the story David Stockman has created a work without parallel.'
