- Summary:
-
"The United States, one of the most firmly established democracies in the world, has seen its share of political scandals. Since colonial times, there has been no shortage of politicians willing to take bribes, skirt campaign finance laws, or act in their own interests. Political Corruption in America: An Encyclopedia of Scandals, Power, and Greed is the first reference work to deliver a comprehensive historical exploration of political corruption. This encyclopedia features: more than 250 cross-referenced A-Z entries covering people, crimes, investigations, court cases, and terms; over 40 photographs of key figures and political cartoons; a comphrensive timeline marking pivotal incidents and court rulings; an extensive bibliography including archival letters, newspapers, and private manuscript collections; and detailed tables listing cases in which politicians were expelled from office, independent counsel investigations, impeachments, and acquittals.".
"Illuminating every angle of political corruption scandals in U.S. history, this eye-opening reference work shows how politicians have fallen because of their greed and how electoral and judicial means have been used to uphold this nation's professed high standards of political conduct."--BOOK JACKET.
