Summary

Nutrition label

61% Informative

Casey Michel’s new book, “Foreign Agents,” unravels incentives and temptations that have led American figures to lobby on behalf of foreign governments that do not uphold American values.

Michel: Why would respected U.S. officials help burnish reputation of governments that abuse human rights and revel in corruption? Michel: Most have just been more clever than Menendez, who stuffed cash into the pockets of his clothes.

Michel writes that “no industry has become more embedded in modern dictatorship’s world of foreign lobbying, in Washington and elsewhere.

The book opens with Ivy Lee testifying before Congress in 1934 , with lawmakers demanding to know about his new client: the German conglomerate I.G. Farben , which had supported Adolf Hitler's ascent to power.
