Review
"As President of Judicial Watch, America's largest nonpartisan government watchdog, Tom Fitton is a leader in the fight against public corruption and government secrecy. The Corruption Chronicles discusses investigations into the last three administrations, but focuses on the Obama White House, lending insights to some of the most newsworthy topics of the day. Since the book's publication last week, Fitton has done promotional media speaking to such topical issues as Fast and Furious, the Department of Justice's prosecution of the New Black Panther Party, Hollywood filmmakers' access to CIA documents on the Osama bin Laden raid, and more. Fitton appeared as the lead story on The O'Reilly Factor, as well as on several nationally syndicated radio shows, including The Jerry Doyle Show and G. Gordon Liddy Show. Tom Fitton has captured his organization's exciting and important journey in The Corruption Chronicles, a highly readable, informative and entertaining look at how Judicial Watch lawyers and investigators have uncovered scandal after scandal..."
