On The Hill, it can be hard to separate politics from big business and organized crime. Welcome to the web of lies, deceit, fraud, and deception that surrounds The Hill and explains why our government is so dysfunctional, our national health programs such a mess, and health care reform is doomed to failure. Written by a former U.S. Senate investigator, counsel, and staff director and based on true events, The Hill is a compelling tale of corruption. From The Hill: "It is said Sam "The Snake" Siciliano earned his nickname while he was in the porn industry. There was no evidence of that in the neatly tailored suit he now wore, any more than there was any reason to believe this mild looking, elderly man had killed two dozen men and arranged the death of many more. He looked more like the owner of the local pizzeria than a hit man. His smile was amiable, his eyes opaque and unfocused behind thick, black-framed glasses. His body was so thin he almost appeared frail. Still, it didn't take a lot of muscle to pull the trigger on a .22 automatic."

This is the heart-warming, often thrilling story of Bob Macauley and AmeriCares, the largest private disaster relief organization in the world. A born entrepreneur and fearless philanthropist, Macauley operates with a rare sense of urgency and efficiency. Routinely the first to arrive at the scene of a disaster anywhere in America or abroad, AmeriCares has delivered close to $5 billion of aid to more than 137 countries. The early arrival of food, medicine and other assistance has saved millions of lives over the past two decades, in places like Poland, Chernobyl, Sarajevo, Sudan, Rwanda, at many of Mother Teresa's missions around the world, and most recently for tsunami victims in Southeast Asia.The book's tales of miraculous rescues, feats of derring-do, poignant accounts of orphans and other children in dire need, complement the narrative story of a great man and his philosophy of life. Macauley demonstrates in word and deed what humans owe one another in a strife - and disaster-torn world - in his words, 'The only thing that is going to save the world is love.'
