How the Mighty can fall

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 17, 2003

This is a very good book, rehashing scandals of all sorts throughout history (leaning toward modern times). Lots of details not found easily elsewhere.

A reminder that scandal has always been with us

Colin Wilson's Encyclopaedia of Scandal is a good basic introduction to the scandals and scams of old. He and Donald Seaman describe some of the most notorious scams of the past and explain how they affected public thinking (and often public policy).I recommend this book to all readers, but especially to those who look at the past with rose-coloured glasses.
