Hmm, what to include? Greed and political corruption, special interests buying politicians in Washington, graft and overspending in the federal military, misbehavior by ambassadorial staff overseas, even the brazen murder of his wife's lover in broad daylight of his wife's lover, all in the life of a *19th century* Tammany Hall Democrat named Dan Sickles. Brought to you by the author of "Schindler's List," a strong - even rollicking - story from history comes to life.
