A unique "catalog" of all presidential transgressions that reveals that every modern scandal is a descendant of strikingly similar predecessors. All the offenses committed behind the doors of the White House, from financial speculation and trading in confidential information to the illegal surveillance of the opposition.

Power, corruption, and scandals at the heart of the White House. The first part of the historical tetralogy from Archive Publishing. Four books, four dark paths that traverse modern culture and attempt to illuminate the shadows of human intolerance, the harsh face of power, and the cost of vanity.
