Tom A. Coburn, a congressional maverick who kept his promise to serve three terms and then leave Washington, offers a candid look at the inner workings of Congress—why the system changes politicians instead of vice versa. Breach of Trust shows listeners, through shocking behind-the-scenes stories, why Washington resists the reform our country desperately needs and how they can make wise, informed decisions about current and future political issues and candidates. This honest and critical look at "business as usual" in Congress reveals how and why elected representatives are quickly seduced into becoming career politicians who won't push for change. Along the way, Coburn offers listeners realistic ideas for how to make a difference.

"A little outdated (published in 2003), but still a scary look into the way Washington "works". There are still plenty of career politician's in Washington that are much more concerned with getting reelected than serving the best long-term interests of their constituents and their country." — Kristjan (4 out of 5 stars)
