Our system of justice rests on a proposition: that witnesses raise their hands and tell the truth. With many prosecutors, investigators, and participants speaking for the first time, Tangled Webs goes behind the scene of the trials of media and homemaking entrepreneur Martha Stewart, White House political adviser Lewis “Scooter” Libby, home-run king Barry Bonds, and Wall Street money manager Bernard Madoff. James B. Stewart reveals the consequences of the perjury epidemic that has swept our country, undermining the foundation of our courts and explores age-old tensions between greed and justice, selfishness and public interest, and loyalty, duty, and betrayal. At a time when Americans are hungry for moral leadership and clarity, Tangled Webs reaffirms the importance of truth. James B. Stewart is the author of Heart of a Soldier, the bestselling Blind Eye and Blood Sport, and the blockbuster Den of Thieves. A former Page One editor at the Wall Street Journal, Stewart won a Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for his reporting on the stock market crash and insider trading. He is a regular contributor to SmartMoney and the New Yorker. (jasbro)… (més)
