If A Very Stable Genius scratched your itch for journalistic excavation of power's hidden rot, Bag Man delivers that same backstage-pass thrill—this time through meticulous archival deep-diving into a scandal so brazen it redefines political shamelessness. Maddow and Yarvitz architect a taut, evidence-rich narrative where institutional failures and ego-drunk leadership collide with darkly comic absurdity, offering the intellectual satisfaction of watching truth meticulously documented.
Here's the schadenfreude you crave: a high-stakes downfall told with narrative flair that transforms investigative rigor into page-turning intrigue. It's the communal validation—moral clarity without preachy partisanship—that made Rucker and Leonnig essential reading.
This is the communal validation—moral clarity without preachy partisanship—you need now.
"BAG MAN...had me spellbound with the plethora of criminal events...the wealth of historical documents and authors’ notes detailing the fight to bring a criminal to justice...contains many head-shaking and mind-blowing moments which facilitates the page-turning education of a moment in 1973..." — TXGAL1, Goodreads
"Well written and fact moving...Maddow's account reveals previously undisclosed information gleaned from Nixon and others' forgotten tapes and diaries. The material is especially relevant today because the precedents and procedures formulated then are now the basis for any accusations of illegal behavior..." — Megargee, Goodreads
"A compulsively readable look at a sordid episode of White House history... The book briskly covers a lot of ground and provides a good amount of context to the case..." — Matthew, Goodreads
