THE SUBTITLE IS THE WILD CRIMES, AUDACIOUS COVER-UP, AND SPECTACULAR DOWNFALL OF A BRAZEN CROOK IN THE WHITE HOUSE, and the Categories are Domestic Politics | 20th Century U.S. History. “Rachel Maddow and Michael Yarvitz expanded on their podcast and then wrote the book.

Ali Velshi, a well-known MSNBC newsman, said of Rachael Maddow and Fareed Zakaria, a CNN newsman-journalist, that they were the two most intelligent people he had known.

This is not a review because I have yet to read the book, but it presents some initial thoughts of interest found in the promotional materials on the book. Some studies have already been released; one I found interesting was the one below.

“Through remarkable investigative work and engaging storytelling, Maddow and Yarvitz reveal previously unknown challenges faced by the brave federal prosecutors who brought Spiro Agnew to justice and waited five decades to share their candid reminiscences.

Rosenstein, former U.S. Deputy Attorney General
