"You can't get much of a closer look at PETA's inner workings than when you work your way up from receptionist to senior vice president of media campaigns and when your first week on the job consists of being called to a government office to help with a 100-person sit-in, and that's what happened to Dan Mathews, who tells his and PETA's story in this compelling, funny book." —Ingrid Newkirk
