Dapper Dan Flood: The Controversial Life of a Congressional Power Broker by William C. Kashatus

Historians often relate tales of bizarre organizations and individuals who tried to restrict their access to archival documents. Until I read  Dapper Dan Flood , however, I never imagined a situation in which witnesses to historical events were reluctant to speak because they feared criminal prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice. It is a tribute to William Kashatus’s perseverance that he soldiered on to chronicle the career of one of America’s most ethically flexible twentieth-century politicians.
