Al Gore was furious. He wasn't supposed to lose.

Drawing on exhaustive, on-the-scene reporting and exclusive interviews with the key players -- including President George W. Bush and Vice President Richard B. Cheney -- Washington Times reporter Bill Sammon has written the definitive account of the most contentious presidential election in U.S. history.

At Any Cost is a breathtaking examination of Vice President Al Gore's audacious and unprecedented effort to overturn the presidential election. Desperate to forestall the spectacular collapse of his political career and determined to inflict as much damage as possible on Bush, Gore pulled out all the stops in an extraordinary, thirty-six day campaign pf scorched-earth political warfare that propelled the nation to the brink of a constitutional crisis.

Alternately infuriating and hilarious, At Any Cost provides a compelling, insider's look at this historic standoff. In At Any Clost you will see:

* Gore lawyers high-fiving each other after disqualifying more than a thousand military ballots on trumped-up hypertechnicalities. "A win's a win," crowed one of the lawyersafter tossing out the ballot of Navy Lieutenant John Russell, who at that moment was off the coast of Yemen, where he had just finished rescuing the USS Cole in the wake of a deadly terrorist attack.

* Gore personally orchestrating a smear-and-destroy campaign against Florida's top election official, Katherine Harris, for upholding state laws that got in the way of his desperate quest. Privately calling her "Cruella De Vil," the micromanaging Gore directly engaged in the politics of personal destruction, even as he piously pledged to elevate "the tone of our dialogue."

* Democratic operative Bob Beckel plotting to "kidnap" Bush electors in a secret campaign to foist the election debacle on Congress and plunge the nation into electoral chaos. While Gore publicly distanced himself from Beckel, he privately retained an Electoral College expert to advise him on the possibility of flipping "faithless" electors.

At Any Cost is a gripping, must-read account of the biggest attempted larceny in he history of American politics.
