Without denying the extraordinary vigour of President Trump's assault on traditional ethical and legal norms, Jonathan Marshall challenges the myth of a golden age of American democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a host of original archival sources, he tells a shocking story of how well-protected criminals systematically organised the corruption of American national politics after World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarshall begins by tracing the extraordinary scandals of President Truman, whose political career was launched by the murderous Pendergast machine in Missouri. He goes on to highlight the role of organised crime in the rise of McCarthyism during the Cold War, the near-derailment of Vice President Johnson's political career by two mob-related scandals, and Nixon's career-long association with underworld figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book culminates with a discussion of Donald Trump's unique history of relations with the traditional American Mafia and newer transnational gangs like the Russian mafiya—and how the latter led to his historic impeachment by the House of Representatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848914850028,"sku":"9781538142493","price":71.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a626d7eb07b2529813bb0c0d7113e501.jpg?v=1759045528"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/jonathan-marshall.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
