They stole the election!" All the newspaper headlines said so! As this gripping new book explains, millions of Americans had voted for the man they wanted as President, and two politicians in Congress met behind closed doors and made a Corrupt Bargain that stole election. There was no doubt about it: The two men met secretly, the one agreed to throw his tie-braking congressional votes for the other in exchange for a vital cabinet appointment. It was simple. They stole the presidential election. Still worse, the Corrupt Bargain they made opened the way for future politicians to steal presidential elections with a minority of votes. Since that first Corrupt Bargain, five presidents have captured the White House with a minority of votes. Can it happen again? Will it happen again? Best-selling author exposes the original Corrupt Bargain in this thrilling new history of political double-dealing, intrigue, and treachery in America's highest places.
