In this expansion of an article that first appeared in 'The New York Review of Books', a world-class journalist investigates the chaotic 2000 presidential election and retraces the ballot-by-ballot Florida recount. Interviews with key organizers from the Bush and Gore camps reveal the near-hysterical partisan bickering and the effects of the Supreme Court's ruling to halt the recount.
