[F]aculty who teach courses such as Politics and the Media, Political Rhetoric, or Democracy and Citizenry should examine Dewberry's book and consider whether to adopt it. Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly Dewberry applies scholarship to scandal-a topic that can quickly turn salacious. The result is a theoretically-driven text that is both compelling and distinctive. -- Geoffrey Peterson, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire In this deep rhetorical analysis of political scandal, Dewberry makes the bold decision to separate the detailed investigation of four core case studies into common segments and presents these segments alongside each other within the various chapters. This approach highlights how often there are common stages to scandals, and allows readers to make very clear comparisons across the case studies. -- Steven Nawara, Lewis University

A compelling and distinctive read. Dewberry brings theory and scholarship into a topic that could easily devolve into 'sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll' material. -- Geoffrey Peterson, University of Wisconsin Eau Claire
