Gold Bar Bob

“Former Senator Bob Menendez makes Tony Soprano look like Mother Teresa. Gold Bar Bob clearly lays out a vast criminal enterprise operating out of the United States Senate. Written in a direct style, the book exposes not only the incredibly dishonest Menendez, but also our political system that often couldn’t care less about corruption. Gold Bar Bob is an enormous wake up call.” —Bill O’Reilly, author of the Killing series “Gold Bar Bob is the most comprehensive and thoroughly-reported tale of the unlikely rise and dramatic fall of former Sen. Bob Menendez. Meticulously reported and cinematically told, Gold Bar Bob is the real-life political drama that will make you sick to your stomach—but won’t let you put it down. Anyone who wants to know how political power can corrupt should read this book.” —Brody Mullins, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter and coauthor of The Wolves of K Street “A vivid, engrossing account of one of the most audacious episodes of political corruption in modern times, and a window into the damage money in politics inflicts on civic leadership, the American people, and in this case, the world. Pulitzer-worthy and a brilliant read.” —Nina Burleigh, New York Times bestselling author of Golden Handcuffs: The Secret History of Trump’s Women “Gold Bar Bob is a gripping exposé of power, greed, and betrayal at the highest levels of American politics. Isabel Vincent and Thomas Jason Anderson chronicle Senator Robert Menendez’s rise and Shakespearean downfall with chilling detail and insider precision. A must-read account of how corruption, once unchecked, can devour even the most calculating survivor.” —Paul Mauro, former NYPD Inspector and founder of The Ops Desk “Gold Bar Bob clearly and thoroughly documents the corruption that has become all too endemic among the political class in the US—lawmakers who simply believe that they are above the law. It’s disgusting and the sad part is that only Bob Menendez was caught.” —Steve Murphy, former DEA agent, host of Game of Crimes podcast, and coauthor of Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar “Gold Bar Bob begins with a meteor blazing over the skies of New Jersey, and Vincent’s and Anderson’s deliciously detailed account of the Menendez scandal is no less explosive. It plays out like an episode of The Sopranos told from the perspective of an outrageously corrupt politician instead of the mob.” —Frank DiGiacomo, coauthor of Paper of Wreckage: The Rogues, Renegades, Wiseguys, Wankers, and Relentless Reporters Who Redefined American Media
