Customer Reviews

Really good writing

Bag Man is better than I thought it'd be. Well written and researched, shocking, surprising, interesting & informative. For the "layperson" who just can't get a grip on "government stuff", you'll have no issues with this book as it is plainly written & easy to understand. It's about an "executive-type" who rose through the ranks (so to speak) of his career, accepted kickbacks throughout, continued to do so as he rose higher, and lied about it to his bitter end. This is a pretty good book and, surprisingly, a page-turner!

This incident was overshadowed by Watergate.

Very interesting. Easy to follow Really fast-moving. It is important to know our history.
