The Crime and Punishment of I.G. Farben by Joseph Borkin

An absolute necessity of any WWII reader to understanding the war, how why and who was most important, it was business not the military or even Hitler. I am sure there are holes in this history but my new understanding of the war and the world outweighs any shortcomings.

The Corrupt Judge: An Inquiry Into Bribery and… by Joseph Borkin

5403. The Corrupt Judge An Inquiry into Bribery and Other High Crimes and Misdemeanors in the Federal Courts, by Joseph Borkin (read 31 Aug 2016) This is a book published in 1962 and it tells of the crimes of Federal judges Martin T. Manton, J. Warren Davis and Albert W. Johnson. I found the accounts shocking and utterly foreign to my experience with judges. Manton at one time was considered for the Supreme Court by President Hoover but fortunately did not get appointed thereto.
