Non-Fiction Memoir | Non-Fiction Political
The name Jack Abramoff is synonymous with Washington
scandal, but the fascinating facts of his case are either
largely unknown or wildly misunderstood. His memoir will
serve as a corrective - an engrossing, informative work of
political nonfiction that is also a gripping real-life
thriller. The biggest surprise twist comes in the form of
Abramoff himself, a smart, funny, charming, clear-eyed
narrator who confounds every expectation of the media's
villainous portrait. He's a perfect bundle of
contradictions: an Orthodox Jew and upstanding family man
with a staunch moral streak, caught in multiple scandals of
bribery and corruption with an undercurrent of murder. Abramoff represented Indian tribes whose lucrative casinos
were constantly under threat from proposed changes in law;
though he charged the tribes many millions, he saved them
billions by ensuring votes to support the livelihoods of
their reservations. Much of Jack's share was funneled not
into his own coffers, but to charities. Abramoff on the
front pages could not be further from the Jack Abramoff
who's ready to tell his honest and compelling story.
