The Chelsea Series

Resnek J: The Last Four Mayors Took down
a City

The Last Four Mayors Took down a City

Chelsea, Massachusetts holds a unique American distinction: four consecutive mayors-Joel Pressman, James Mitchell, Thomas Nolan, and John Brennan-were brought to justice for leading a city into the ground. Only Newark and Atlantic City compare in municipal misconduct. In The Last Four Mayors, the fourth volume of The Chelsea Series, writer Josh Resnek and documentary photographer Arnie Jarmak revisit this sordid era. They detail how these leaders broke their promises, enriched themselves with bribes, and brought the city to bankruptcy. The corruption grew so severe that public servants went unpaid, forcing the state of Massachusetts to suspend local government and take over receivership. Through stunning black and white photographs and firsthand narrative, Resnek and Jarmak offer an honest testimony of a compromised era and the results of the FBI investigation that brought it to a crashing halt.

Gone Rogue is a riveting narrative that unravels a web of financial fraud, political manipulation, and personal sacrifice. Written by Michael Arnold, this compelling nonfiction work blends real-life events with dramatic storytelling to explore the high stakes of integrity, accountability, and the price of exposing corruption.

The story follows Marcus, a former compliance professional in the global financial sector, who seeks a quieter life in a picturesque coastal town. However, his peaceful new beginning is soon disrupted when he uncovers a complex scheme of investor fraud tied to municipal bonds. As he delves deeper into the city's financial dealings, Marcus finds himself facing an entrenched system of corruption that threatens to unravel everything he holds dear.

From the moment Marcus begins questioning the legitimacy of the city's financial transactions, he is drawn into a world of deceit and danger. As a whistleblower, Marcus takes on powerful individuals with deep political ties, navigating a series of moral and professional dilemmas that force him to confront the limits of his own integrity.

Gone Rogue is more than a story of financial fraud it's a tale of a man forced to choose between personal safety and moral duty, between silence and speaking out. As Marcus exposes the depth of corruption, he must contend with retaliation, threats, and the personal toll of standing up for what's right. With every discovery, the stakes grow higher, and Marcus realizes that the forces he's up against are far more powerful and far-reaching than he ever imagined.

A must-read for anyone interested in financial crime, whistle blowing, and the inner workings of political and corporate corruption, Gone Rogue is a masterclass in the delicate balance between personal integrity and the dangerous pursuit of truth. This book is essential for readers who appreciate real-world thrillers, true crime, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a world that often bends to the will of the powerful.

Journalists Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman investigate the decisions that have defined Trump's second term, which has been liberated from every constraint that defined his first. The generals who once told him 'no' are gone, and the lawyers who remain have learned to pick their battles.Haberman and Swan take you behind the scenes of a presidency that has launched a new war in the Middle East, sealed the border, deployed National Guard troops into American cities, transformed the Justice Department into an instrument of retribution against the President's enemies, and turned the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a President operating almost entirely on instinct and a White House operating at the edge of political power.Regime Change&nbsp;shows how Trump has wielded that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed. A landmark work of real-time political history, this is the story of a President who has fundamentally altered how the world understands American power.&nbsp;

Scam World

Elements in Chinese Economy and Governance

While bribery has been extensively studied, the dynamics of personnel corruption in the public sector, often known as 'buying and selling of government offices,' remain underexplored. This form of corruption involves leaders' accepting or soliciting bribes from subordinates to influence recruitment, appointment, and promotion decisions, significantly impacting political selection and governance quality. This Element employs a dual perspective - corruption and elite mobility - to analyze the distribution of office-selling across the Chinese administrative matrix and its various forms and implications. Using two novel self-compiled datasets, it proposes a tripartite framework of performance, patronage, and purchase to reimagine political selection in China, highlighting the coexistence of multiple governance models: a meritocratic state prioritizing competence, a clientelist state emphasizing loyalty, and an investment state bound by money. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Bribery as a Third Path to Power?

**THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER** **WINNER OF THE BRITISH BOOK AWARDS 2024 BOOK OF THE YEAR** Patriot is the unforgettable life story of one of the most fearless and inspiring figures of our time. 'Mind-blowing ... one extraordinary read' EMILY MAITLIS 'Charisma and courage dazzle on every page' SUNDAY TIMES 'Part memoir, part diary, a political manifesto, a darkly funny adieu' BEN MACINTYRE Alexei Navalny's poisoning in 2020 by the Russian security services was a global news event. In 2024 he was killed in a brutal Arctic prison. He began writing Patriot whilst recovering from his poisoning; it ends with his secret prison diaries. HUSBAND: He was a beacon to millions and became the sole political threat to Vladimir Putin. This is his life in his own words: his political awakening, his marriage and beloved family, his total commitment to taking on a corrupt regime and his enduring love of Russia and its people. PRISONER: We witness his message of hope gain nationwide support, his many arrests and harassment, and the incredible attempt on his life. We understand why he felt he had to return to Russia. In prison, we feel the power of his unbreakable spirit and sense of humour. PATRIOT: Patriot is as dramatic as Navalny's life - and full of the passionate belief that good and freedom will prevail. It is an astonishingly positive account of a heroic life. 'A worthy testament to Navalny's courage, defiance and humour' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Inspiring, emboldening - a voice that will not be forgotten' NEW YORKER * A NEW STATESMAN, FINANCIAL TIMES, ECONOMIST AND EVENING STANDARD BOOK OF THE YEAR * (Sunday Times bestseller October 2024)

PATRIOT

From the MS NOW legal analyst and veteran federal prosecutor, an urgent summons to tackle the scourge of political lies in America - and prevent a figure like Donald Trump from ever rising again "The 2020 election was a total FRAUD!" "I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." "There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!!" These and other lies by Donald Trump sparked a historic insurrection to topple US democracy and undermined the public's faith in elections. The Trump administration's deceit has enabled the use of law enforcement and the military against the people, the unlawful deportation of immigrants, and the disregard of international rules meant to promote a civilized and peaceful world. Other politicians, inspired by the success of the political lie, have flooded the public square with falsehoods of their own. As Andrew Weissmann reveals, our vulnerability to politicians' lies stems from a flaw in America's legal system - one that can be fixed. But it will take courage, creativity, and a willingness to look to other countries, such as Brazil, France, Germany, and the UK, that have already confronted this crisis. A slim, elegant treatise, Liar's Kingdom is a playbook for stopping politicians like Trump from holding office in the future - and for saving democracy. We are entitled to more from our governments, and Weissmann shows us how we can get it.

How To Stop Trump's Deceit and Save Democracy - The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller

Liar's Kingdom

A DAILY MAIL, FINANCIAL TIMES AND PROSPECT POLITICS BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Quite simply the best and most powerful book I've read this year' David Peace 'A magnificent book . . . beautifully written and passionately argued' Dominic Sandbrook 'A remarkable eye-witness account of Russia's descent into authoritarianism and war' Catherine Belton A unique, personal insight into Vladimir Putin's Russia and the devastating impact his rule has had on his own people and those of neighbouring Ukraine. In 2021, BBC journalist Sarah Rainsford set out to write a book about how Russians who dared to think differently to the Putin regime were being labelled as enemies, foreign agents and even traitors. It was to chart Russia's slide from democracy and warn of where the crushing of liberties could lead. She had experienced something of that herself when she was expelled from Moscow as a supposed 'security threat'. Then, in February 2022, Putin began his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, moving faster than her worst fears. This is the story of how Vladmir Putin changed Russia so deeply that he was able to launch the biggest conflict in Europe since the Second World War. Sarah's focus is on the extraordinary characters she has encountered, from the Russians such as Boris Nemtsov and Alexei Navalny who paid with their lives for challenging Putin, to the Ukrainians she found burying their dead in Bucha. It is also her own personal reckoning with Russia, where she first lived in the 1990s: a country she saw emerge from decades of authoritarian rule to embrace new freedoms, that has now quashed internal dissent and declared a ruinous war on its neighbour. The culmination of many years of on-the-ground reporting, Goodbye to Russia shines a light on the attacks on freedom that she has witnessed and paints an intimate portrait of the individuals who have tried to resist.

Goodbye to Russia

**The instant top 5 Sunday Times bestseller from political commentator Ash Sarkar, now available in paperback with a brand new afterword** 'One of the boldest and most exciting thinkers of her generation' NAOMI KLEIN 'Delivers its message with punch and panache ... a joy to read' GUARDIAN 'If leftists feel they have been stumbling around in the darkness, Minority Rule flicks on the light' STANDARD Minority rule (noun): an irrational fear fuelled by right-wing pundits, lobby journalists and billionaires that minority groups are displacing majority populations. We all know that the modern world is in crisis. But it's not just a crisis for the climate, or of living standards - it's a 'blame crisis'. Whether it's infighting on the left or the demonisation of immigrants on the right, there's always a new talking point to distract us from real, systemic change. Now is the time to realise that we have been duped into fighting with each other; now is the time to redirect our outrage towards those who deserve it. In Minority Rule, political commentator Ash Sarkar offers a sharp and lively reality check. Whether it's exposing the origins of the 'white working class', or examining how 'non-events' have taken over journalism, this book - now with a brand new afterword - will help you break the blame cycle for good.

'Rinsed is a triumph. If you want to understand how the chaotic world around us really works, read this book!' MILES JOHNSON, AUTHOR OF CHASING SHADOWS 'A riveting look at not only the nuts and bolts of cons and crimes but the techniques detectives use to stalk cyber criminals' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Gripping' THE ECONOMIST There's an old saying: 'a rising tide lifts all boats'. It's normally couched in positive terms; that overall economic improvement will benefit everyone. In the case of hi-tech money laundering, however, it offers a dark vision of the future. The better these launderers become at their work, the more crime of all types will be enabled. It's time to understand where the water is rising, before it washes over us all. Money laundering has been around for centuries. For as long as people have been willing to steal money, there's been an industry ready to wash it. But recent tech innovations have created vastly complex new systems for laundering that threaten to overwhelm authorities, destabilise economies and disrupt societies. Rinsed is a revelatory investigation into the new army of innovative criminals using tech to launder money, and the consequences for all of us.
