Although Tennessee has a rich history of political scandals, dating back to the founding of the state, the last fifty years have been a confusing, confound, and sometimes hilarious mess of ne'erdowelling. Welcome to Capitol Hill is a guide to the state's modern history of corruption. From Gov. Ray Blanton's pardon scandals to the FBI investigation that started with now-Lt. Gov. Randy McNally wearing a wire in the late 1980s to the sexual misconduct that plagues Tennessee politics, it's all here.

These two veteran political reporters rely on interviews with primary and secondary sources, archival documents, and never-before-seen federal investigative files to provide readers with a handy resource to the wrong-doings of our elected officials.
