Book excerpt: This gripping account of the Covode investigation, one of the most explosive probes in 19th century American politics, sheds light on the corruption and cronyism that plagued the federal government in the years leading up to the Civil War. The investigation, led by Congressman John Covode, revealed evidence of bribery, kickbacks, and other unethical practices among high-ranking government officials, and its findings played a key role in shaping public opinion and political reform efforts of the era.
