The Chickenshit Club

"The Chickenshit Club," by Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Jesse Eisinger, offers an in-depth, factual examination of the decline in accountability within the U.S. Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, highlighting why many corporate wrongdoers often evade prosecution. Tracing its history back to the 1970s, the book explores how legal, cultural, and political shifts have impacted the ability of prosecutors to hold top executives accountable. Through detailed reporting, Eisinger sheds light on the systemic issues that have hampered efforts to bring corporate criminals to justice and offers a compelling overview of this critical issue.
