Unfreakinbelievable! If you thought that there’s no corruption in those elite universities and public service organizations, think again. Best get rid of those rose colored glasses and face the harsh reality of “I scratch your back, you’ll scratch my back” mentality.
Bad City tells the truthful tale of unthinkable corruption in one of the most prestigious universities. It starts with the dean of the school of medicine and then escalates to the onsite ObGyn of the school. You just cannot imagine the coverups that took place. It’s inconceiveable how the university administration managed to squash any and all inquiries with the help of the local law enforcement.
As a result of the investigations by the Times journalistic team, two other scandals were revealed — the USC admissions bribery scheme involving Hollywood actresses and actors, and the corruption of the USC President at that time.
Author, Pringle is a master in his journalistic writing skills. And Bad City is a prime example of his excellent work.
If you enjoyed the film, Spotlight, you will certainly enjoy the book, Bad City. In my opinion, Bad City is one of the best true crime/nonfiction books out there. Five exceptional stars.
I received a finished copy of the book from Celadon Books through BookishFirst. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.
