Description
Cooking with Grease is a powerful, behind-the-scenes memoir of the life and times of a tenacious political organizer and the first African-American woman to head a major presidential campaign. Cooking with Grease follows Donna’s rise to greater and greater political and personal accomplishments: lobbying for student financial aide, organizing demonstrations to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday a national holiday and working on the Jesse Jackson, Dick Gephardt, Michael Dukakis and Bill Clinton presidential campaigns.

Notes
- Includes index
- "Donna Brazile fought her first political fight at age nine - campaigning (successfully) for a city council candidate who promised a playground in her neighborhood. The day after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, she committed her heart and her future to political and social activism. By the 2000 presidential election, Brazile had become a major player in American political history - and she remains one of the most outspoken and forceful political activists of our day." "Cooking With Grease is an account of Donna’s thirty years in politics. Her stories of the leaders and activists who have helped shape America’s future are both inspiring and memorable. Donna’s style and innovative political strategies have garnered her the respect and admiration of colleagues and adversaries alike - she is as comfortable trading quips with J. C. Watts as she is with her Democratic colleagues."–BOOK JACKET
