The Longest Con

"The Longest Con" explores the history of partisan con artists within conservative politics, tracing their evolution from early anti-communists to contemporary grifters and charlatans. The book examines how these figures have exploited anger, resentment, and division to amass wealth and influence, culminating in the rise of Donald Trump and his administration. Through a candid and often humorous narrative, Joe Conason uncovers the long, corrupting influence of these deceptive tactics on American political life.
