Condon Jr.) Edition: First Edition Format: Hardcover Publisher: PublicAffairs Publication Year: 2007 Print Length: 352 Pages Language: English ISBN-10: 1586484796 ISBN-13: 9781586484798Product Notes: Written by the investigative reporting team that won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of the scandal, The Wrong Stuff is the definitive account of the jaw-dropping rise and fall of California Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham. A decorated Vietnam War ace and "Top Gun" fighter pilot, Cunningham parlayed his military heroism into a high-profile political career. However, behind his flag-waving, patriotic public persona lay a darker reality: Cunningham became the most brazenly corrupt member of Congress in American history, ultimately pleading guilty to accepting millions of dollars in bribes from defense contractors. The authors detail how Cunningham used his seat on the powerful Defense Appropriations Committee to steer lucrative, post-9/11 classified military contracts to co-conspirators in exchange for a lavish lifestyle. The book exposes the shadowy, clubby world of Washington lobbying, where bribes took the form of a yacht docked on the Potomac, private jet travel, rolls of cash, luxury antiques, and high-end prostitutes. More than just a biography of one man's staggering venality, The Wrong Stuff serves as a scathing, meticulously researched indictment of the earmark system and the systemic political corruption that allowed vital national security funding to be plundered for personal greed.Guarantee: We review/examine everything thoroughly and attempt to disclose any imperfections to you in our listings.
