And the only man who could pull off this elaborate plan was a celebrated Hollywood director. Add to the mix a left-coast gumshoe named Broz who is trapped among cover-ups, undercover work, and his own morality, a cast of bicoastal desperate characters, and the stage is set for a powerful D.C.\/L.A. production. From Edgar award winning author Larry Beinhart, \u003ci\u003eWag the Dog\u003c\/i\u003e was the most brilliant political satire of the last decade. It was made into a classic film by Barry Levinson, and, fortunately, is now back in print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarry Beinhart\u003c\/b\u003e is best known as the author of \u003ci\u003eWag the Dog\u003c\/i\u003e (originally published as \u003ci\u003eAmerican Hero\u003c\/i\u003e) on which the film starring Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Willie Nelson and Woody Harrelson was based.
