A Treasury of Great American Scandals

Following on the heels of his national bestseller <b>A Treasury of Royal Scandals</b> Michael Farquhar turns his attention to matters a little closer to home with <b>A Treasury of Great American Scandals</b>. From the unhappy family relationships of prominent Americans to the feuds smear campaigns duels and infamous sex scandals that have punctuated our history we see our founding fathers and other American heroes in the course of their all-too-human events. Ineffectual presidents lazy generals traitors; treacherous fathers nagging mothers ungrateful children embarrassing siblings; and stories about insanity death and disturbing postmortems are all here as are disagreeable marriages vile habits and of course sex: good sex bad sex and good-bad sex too. We can take comfort in the fact that we are no worse and no better than our forebears. But we do have better media coverage.
