I find it interesting how tight a bead '70s conservative men had on con artists, and how the entire conservative movement was subsequently co-opted and corrupted by the most con-artisty swindler of them all in Donald Trump.

Standard Destroyer pleasures, here, with some amusing dialogue, and a propulsive narrative that makes one want to keep reading. The specifics of this particular book faded fairly fast, and the treatment of women and minorities will never not be a problem, I guess, but as these things go, an entertaining (relatively) early entry.
