Phil Elwood: 本书讲述了我20多年来担任公关专家的经历，以及我如何帮助塑造国家叙事。我与记者建立关系，引导他们报道对客户有利的新闻。我曾为一些有争议的客户工作，例如卡塔尔、利比亚和沙特阿拉伯政府，也参与了一些有争议的项目，例如帮助卡塔尔赢得世界杯申办权，以及促使安提瓜和美国之间爆发贸易战。在与这些客户合作的过程中，我目睹了公关行业的黑暗面，也经历了联邦调查局的调查。最终，我开始反思自己的职业生涯，并试图将所学知识用于更有意义的事业。 Dan Buckheimer: Phil Elwood的故事令人震惊，他参与的事件和操纵手法令人难以置信。他的经历揭示了公关行业的黑暗面，以及金钱和权力如何影响媒体和政治。 Monica Lily Padman: Phil Elwood的经历引发了对公关行业道德、媒体操纵以及政治影响的深刻思考。他的故事也反映了个人在职业生涯中面临的道德困境和精神挑战。
