Joan Mellen examines the intersection of political power and criminal enterprise in mid-twentieth-century Texas, focusing on the relationship between Lyndon B. Johnson and the enigmatic figure Mac Wallace. Through extensive archival research and investigative narrative, the work explores the systemic corruption and moral compromises inherent in the state's burgeoning industrial and political landscape.
