Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A shocking exposé of rampant, decades-long incompetence at the National Rifle Association, as told by a former member of its senior leadership.
Joshua L. Powell is the NRA--a lifelong gun advocate, in 2016, he began his new role as a senior strategist and chief of staff to NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre.
What Powell uncovered was horrifying: "the waste and dysfunction at the NRA was staggering."
INSIDE THE NRA reveals for the first time the rise and fall of the most powerful political organization in America--how the NRA became feared as the Death Star of Washington lobbies and so militant and extreme as "to create and fuel the toxicity of the gun debate until it became outright explosive."
INSIDE THE NRA explains this intentional toxic messaging was wholly the product of LaPierre's leadership and the extremist branding by his longtime PR puppet master Angus McQueen. In damning detail, Powell exposes the NRA's plan to "pour gasoline" on the fire in the fight against gun control, to sow discord to fill its coffers, and to secure the presidency for Donald J. Trump.
In this tell-all exposé, a former senior strategist for the National Rifle Association reveals the corrupt behavior of its chief executive Wayne LaPierre and gives a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of one of the most powerful political lobbying organizations in the United States.
