The Great Whitewater Fiasco
The bestselling, truth-telling reporter whose old-fashioned muckraking has exposed outrageous government excess in The Government Racket and A Call for Revolution now takes on the scandal engulfing Bill and Hillary Clinton -- Whitewater.
A tale of hubris, greed, and temptation, The Great Whitewater Fiasco is a chronicle of American politics as usual. It illustrates the destructive alliance of money and government that increasingly plagues our democracy.
The Great Whitewater Fiasco traces the exploits of the Clintons from the 1960s through the hearings, and shows how Whitewater extends far beyond a dubious land deal. Finally we can see through the murky waters to the unmistakable truth:
* Campaign contributions and loans paid off with political favors
* Misuse and theft of federally guaranteed funds
* Conflicts of interest galore in legal and banking practices
* Slush funds and other financial shenanigans
* White House cover-ups
With true aim, Gross offers a bold and innovative plan to clean up our system so that we can prevent ourselves from drowning in future Whitewaters.
