Reviews

"Seth Hettena has turned the sordid tale of Washington corruption into a page-turner in his meticulously-reported account of the shamelessly sleazy descent of Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham. The account is rich in detail, replete with yachts, prostitutes, bribes, and a congressman partying and playing video games rather than serving his constituents. The larger picture it paints is both appalling and pathetic, as public service was turned into self-service."

—Jane Mayer, staff writer, The New Yorker Magazine

"Seth Hettena sees the man whole and reveals in his story American politics as it is today."
