Following on the heels of his national bestseller A Treasury

of Royal Scandals, Michael Farquhar turns his attention to

matters a little closer to home with A Treasury of Great

American Scandals. From the unhappy family relationships of

prominent Americans to the feuds, smear campaigns, duels, and

infamous sex scandals that have punctuated our history, we see our

founding fathers and other American heroes in the course of their

all-too-human events. Ineffectual presidents, lazy generals,

traitors; treacherous fathers, nagging mothers, ungrateful

children, embarrassing siblings; and stories about insanity, death,

and disturbing postmortems are all here, as are disagreeable

marriages, vile habits, and, of course, sex: good sex, bad sex, and

good-bad sex too. We can take comfort in the fact that we are no

worse and no better than our forebears. But we do have better media

coverage. Bonus educational material:

* A brief history of the United States, including scandals!

* The American Hall of Shame!

* A complete listing of presidential administrations!
