David Sawyer was a New England aristocrat with dreams of a career as a film-maker; Scott Miller, the son of a shoe salesman, was a brilliant copywriter. Unlikely partners, their enormously influential campaigning company, Sawyer-Miller, directed democratic revolutions from the Philippines to Chile, steered a dozen presidents and prime ministers into office, and instilled the campaign ethic in corporate giants from Coca-Cola to Apple.
