E-grāmata: Public Corruption in the United States: Analysis of a Destructive Phenomenon

"This work could only have been written by a true dedicated law enforcement professional who lived it for years, day in and day out. To a DOJ veteran like myself, it is powerful, authentic, accurate, and remarkably complete demonstrating how pervasive corruption is across the entire social and political spectrum. Most importantly, it is straightforward and completely apolitical. No agendas here. Just remarkable knowledge and experience."

Jim Letten, U.S. Attorney, (Retired) Eastern District of Louisiana

"Public Corruption in the United States is a must-read front-line perspective for those considering a future in fighting corruption, law and business professors, as well as in-house personnel tasked with addressing corruption in their work and roles. Mr. Cortese brings a clear-eyed view as to the causes and consequences of corruption, starting with how to define it, recognize it and address it, as to protect people, organizations and society at large. If we want to have a world free of corruption, where integrity never has to be sacrificed, it needs to start with making difficult issues discussable, as Mr. Cortese has done in this well researched treatise that is foundational for any corruption or compliance library."

Richard Bistrong, CEO, Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC, and former FCPA violator

"Public Corruption in the United States: Analysis of a Destructive Phenomenon is the ultimate guide for anyone interested in understanding how and why corruption eats away at trust in our institutions while also providing clear guidance on preventing it. Mr. Cortese makes an ironclad case why everyone interested in democracy needs to pay attention and get involved in stopping corruption at all levels, regardless of ideology or partisanship."

Ethan Bearman, Attorney, Political Analyst, and co-host of the Law Junkie Show

"Jeff Corteses work should be required reading for elected officials and newsrooms. Cortese brings a rare depth of expertise as someone who has investigated breaches of integrity in government at the highest levels. Thinkers like Cortese safeguard our way of life in the United States and I cannot overstate how necessary they are at this moment in history."
