Summary
He's a perfect bundle of contradictions: an Orthodox Jew and upstanding family man with a staunch moral streak, caught in multiple scandals of bribery and corruption with an undercurrent of murder. Sentenced to prison in the largest scandal in Washington, Abramoff pulls back the curtain on K Street and shows the dirty underbelly of America's government and what steps must be taken to reform it.
