Political Corruption in America: An Encyclopedia of Scandals, Power, and Greed by Mark Grossman
Requirements: PDF Reader, 8mb
Overview: In this resource, political corruption is defined as “the dishonest use of a position of elected power to gain a monetary advantage.” Therefore, other types of scandals, such as sexual misconduct, are not included. However, some notable exceptions are covered, for example, Watergate and the Iran-Contra Affair. The majority of the more than 250 entries are devoted to people, such as mayors of big cities, governors, senators, representatives, presidents, and other government officials. Additional types of headings cover court cases, names of scandals (e.g., Swartwout-Hoyt Scandal), legislative acts (e.g., Hatch Act), and other miscellaneous topics (e.g., Honoraria). Content focuses primarily on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
