While most people feel that they can make no significant change in the politics of Washington, four special people have conspired to create a benevolent dictatorship which they are convinced will make this country a much better place. All they have to do is create massive public unrest with destructive inflation, deadly bombings, and massiveriots. The only obstacle in their way is an unlikely hero in the swamp called Washington who is swept from the halls of Congress, across the Swiss Alps, and into the bowels of the Lincoln Memorial. He stumbles his way through seductions, computer tricks, murders, and duplicity to save his own life and the democracy he believes should survive.
