In this "New York Times "bestseller, controversial ambush
journalist James O'Keefe takes a hard-hitting look at how the media
and government conspire to protect the status quo: "A
spine-tingling, true crime thriller about the quest for truth in
the age of media obfuscation" (Gavin McInnes, FOX News
contributor).
Hailed by David Weigel in "Slate" as having "had more of an impact
on the 2012 election than any journalist," James O'Keefe is young,
brash, and provocative: a new breed of guerrilla reporter for the
twenty-first century. He and his associates have famously
infiltrated some of America's most protected organizations and
institutions. Now, in "Breakthrough," O'Keefe chronicles the
harrowing undercover investigation that opened America's eyes to
the chicanery of its state houses and the duplicity of the White
House during one of the most compromised election campaigns in our
nation's history: the 2012 presidential race.
Of all his controversial sting operations, this was the one that
his late mentor, Andrew Breitbart, called "his most consequential."
While still on federal probation, O'Keefe organized an army of
citizen journalists, planned a series of video stings to reveal the
American system's vulnerability to voter fraud, and went nose to
nose with the most powerful political machine in the world. Along
the way, O'Keefe found disheartening evidence that Americans are
not nearly as free as we may believe, but also showed just how much
real change ordinary citizens can bring about when they are willing
to risk the wrath of the powerful.
Free of ideology, "Breakthrough" is at its core a clarion call for
a more ethical society. Despite being vilified and libeled by an
establishment media dedicated to suppressing the truth, James
O'Keefe has dared to break through the firewall and reshape public
opinion by showing things as they really are.
What's the connection between a beautiful co-ed's attempted suicide
and a man with a secret at a small gas station miles away?
None-until the murder.
Things are not so victorious in "Victors Valiant"-Land. A web of
secrets, jealousy and murder stretches from Ann Arbor, Michigan, to
a small town some twenty miles away, involving:
MARY ROYCE, who is found her near death from an overdose of
sleeping pills in her dormitory at the University of Michigan. She
later recovers, then disappears.
CHUCK HENDERSON, the newest employee at the small town's two-man
service station, who is obviously on the run.
MIKE DALTRY, spoiled playboy who has no interest in a woman as long
as she loves him; but no woman who knows wha's good for her will
leave him before he's through with her.
DENNIS McCARTHY and SALLY IRONS, innocent lovers caught up in
nightmarish events that will lead to tragedy for one of them.
OMAR JOSEPH-running from a bloody act of vengeance a world away.
NATE CASSIDY (or is he JOE BERLIN?) tried for murder linked to an
unspeakable act.
SHERRI JOSEPH, Berlin's girlfriend, whose refusal to accept his
guilt will lead to horrifying consequences.
ROY BANKS, guilty of one act of violence, what does he know about
several murders, miles apart, where he is the common element?
RICK GERHARDT, victim-or perpetrator-of a horrible crime?
CHIEF NORDQUIST and JASON REDMUND, small town cops up against an
unprecedented wave of bloodshed and corruption.
DR. WHITNEY LARSEN, who played detective once to help a patient,
then to save himself.
Follow the twisted trail that leads UNTO MADNESS.
