This is the story of Ahmad Chalabi—fraudster, statesman, banker, math whiz, gourmand, and esthete. Emmy award winner Aram Roston’s extraordinary investigative biography exposes massive white-collar mischief, sophisticated international espionage operations, and political intrigue spanning the globe. Having tracked down forgotten Chalabi business partners and dug through courthouse records, Roston reveals how this convicted felon, Iran ally, and fugitive from justice in Jordan managed to influence the top leaders of the United States.
