| Summary |
In this blockbuster account, Rachel Maddow and Michael Yarvitz detail the investigation that exposed Spiro Agnew’s crimes, the attempts at a cover-up-which involved future president George H. W. Bush-and the back room bargain that forced Agnew’s resignation but also spared him years in federal prison. Based on the award-winning hit podcast, Bag Man expands and deepens the story of Spiro Agnew’s scandal and its lasting influence on our politics, our media, and our understanding of what it takes to confront a criminal in the White House--Amazon.com. |
