520    From a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist comes a 
       blistering account of corporate greed and impunity, and 
       the reckless, often anemic response from the Department of
       Justice. 
520    "Why were no bankers put in prison after the financial 
       crisis of 2008?  Why do CEOs seem to commit wrongdoing 
       with impunity?  The problem goes beyond banks deemed "Too 
       Big to Fail" to almost every large corporation in America-
       - to pharmaceutical companies and auto manufacturers and 
       beyond.  The Chickenshit Club-- an inside reference to 
       prosecutors too scared of failure and too daunted by legal
       impediments to do their jobs-- explains why. A character-
       driven narrative, the book tells the story from inside the
       Department of Justice.  The complex and richly reported 
       story spans the last decade and a half of prosecutorial 
       fiascos, corporate lobbying, trial losses, and culture 
       shifts that have stripped the government of the will and 
       ability to prosecute top corporate executives.  Exposing 
       one of the most important scandals of our time, [this 
       book] provides a clear, detailed explanation as to how our
       Justice Department has come to avoid, bungle, and 
       mismanage the fight to bring these alleged criminals to 
       justice."--Amazon.
