What is Texas Confidential : Sex, Scandal, Murder, and Mayhem in the Lone Star State about?
The latest installment in the __Confidential__ series, __Texas Confidential__ pokes at the seamy underbelly of the Lone Star State, where folks do everything — including sex, scandal, murder, and mayhem — in a big way. Author Michael J. Varhola rounds up more than 40 Texas tales — from the rogues who defended the Alamo to the rogues who brought down Enron. Along the way, readers learn the sordid details of sex — from Miss Hattie's Bordello in West Texas (now a museum!) to “Charlie Wilson's Whore" scandal — from corrupt governors “Ma" and “Pa" Ferguson to corrupt politicians Lyndon Johnson and Tom DeLay; murder — from Bonnie and Clyde to the Kennedy Assassination to the over-zealous cheerleader mom; and mayhem — from the crash of a UFO in 1897 in the little town of Aurora to Nazi war criminals hiding in El Paso (while working for the local government). Packed with pictures and loaded with sidebars, __Texas Confidential__ is informative, irreverent, and enormously entertaining.
