I always knew G.Gordon Liddy was a comic-book character!

Pros: Excellent overall job of explaining the scandals
Cons: A bit complex for those who are too young
The scandals in this book have been put to paper in comic form, much as in the books BIG BOOK OF CONSPIRACIES and BIG BOOK OF URBAN LEGENDS. As usual, the Paradox Press has done an excellent job of explaining the scandals in THE BIG BOOK OF SCANDAL! in such a way that the reader can finally understand some of the more complex ones.
Like the aforementioned books, however, it is for adults only, but that's because the reading level is a bit over the heads of the wee ones. I think perhaps the youngest age group that would be able to understand the contents would be adolescents in junior high, but that's because many of them are required to study the contents of many of the articles in here, anyway. (Watergate, for example, would be standard fare in their American History courses for the simple reason that it brought down a US President.)
