“Bag Man: The Wild Crimes, Audacious Cover-up, and Spectacular Downfall of a Brazen Crook in the White House” expands and deepens the story of Spiro Agnew’s scandal and its lasting influence on our politics, our media, and our understanding of what it takes to confront a criminal in the White House. Rachel Maddow and Michael Yarvitz are the authors of this book. This book has excellent reviews on Amazon and goodreads. Some of them are “This is an interesting, compelling, entertaining, thought provoking book to read. I am surprised how much I enjoyed it. First, Ms. Maddow gets right to the point. We don’t get fifty pages how Spiro Agnew grew up. And she assumes we know what Watergate was and does not have to go deeply into it, although is a major player in the turn of events. We see the dedication, and intelligence, of three prosecutors from Baltimore and how they build their case and pursue it despite political pressure for them to stop. They were investing Spiro Agnew, then Vice-President under Richard Nixon, and the money he was taking as bribes for giving out municipal contracts when he was Governor of Maryland (and even before that!) He was getting envelopes filled with cash even as he was VP.”
“The Passage of Power: The Years of Lyndon Johnson” is very well written and a pleasure to read. Robert A. Caro is the author of this book. This book provides the whole story, including the actions behind the scenes, of the historic events. The Passage of Power” provides a great perspective on the 1960 Presidential Campaign, Johnson’s painful years as Vice President, the Kennedy assassination and then Johnson’s masterful assumption of the Presidency. Along the way, the reader also gets a great look at the Kennedys particularly John and Bobby. The disdain that the “Camelot Crowd” had for Johnson is well described.
The absolute and mutual hatred between Bobby and Lyndon was truly amazing and Caro covers it all in detail. At times Caro’s narrative is a bit repetitive, but this is probably necessary both to drive home key points and to remind readers of things Caro discussed years ago in previous volumes. Although the Austin TV station is mentioned to some degree, the mechanics of how Johnson became wealthy are not covered very well. Finally, with the exception of the Bobby Kennedy discussion near the end, Caro pretty much dismisses assassination conspiracy theories on a “trust me on this one” basis without serious discussion. Overall, this is a great series and a great book.
