“A gleefully explicit catalogue of the past century’s headline-grabbing bad behavior...Catnip for scandal junkies, with a bit of historical perspective stirred in.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Fryd uses a snappy format to introduce 50 newsworthy (and occasionally cringe-worthy) dramas that caught the public’s attention. Informative!” — ALA Booklist
