We were moved to tackle this book for two reasons. First, the tale of the rise and fall of Randy Cunningham is a fascinating story with unexpected twists and turns that are genuinely compelling. Second, Americans—both today and in generations to come—need a fuller understanding of what the most corrupt congressman in American history did, how his stealing was made easier by a system that invited corruption, and how he got caught. With Cunningham out of sight and away in prison, the Washington establishment hoped to brush aside his crimes as the work of one man. But this is a scandal reaching into the highest levels of the CIA, the Pentagon and the Congress. We wanted to show how the system gave us Cunningham's corruption and still invites others to steal more in the future. |
