| Summary |
In September 2018, the F.B.I. was given only a week to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump's Supreme Court nominee. Many questions remained unanswered, leaving millions of Americans unsettled. Pogrebin and Kelly were inundated with tips from former classmates, friends, and associates that couldn't be fully investigated before the confirmation process closed. Here they pursue lines of inquiry that were left hanging-- questions about our political system and Kavanaugh's unexpectedly emblematic role in it. -- adapted from jacket |
