Vice and Victory: With the Emphasis on the Former (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481004114)

In 2007 he broke into a van, stole a debit card and tried to use it. He was caught, arrested and convicted on felony charges. Yet, somehow, by May 2012, he had "taken over" the right wing blogosphere. This book follows the true story of Ali Abdul Razaq Akbar as he blazes a trail of deception from a Fort Worth jail cell to the heights of the Conservative New Media Machine. Is it AKBAR that conservative organizations fear as they willingly throw their money at his "Vice & Victory" agency knowing it will be stolen or misspent? Is it AKBAR's political acumen (despite the fact that every election he worked for, the candidate lost) that holds the right wing blogosphere in its sway, including ardent defenders like Michelle Malkin? Or is it a rumored "connection" with Karl Rove and the underground Washington, D.C. conservative gay sex scene that keeps Akbar in his designer suits? Does Akbar's story prove the old adage, "It's not who you know, it's who you blow that counts"? With this, his 16th published title, author Bill Schmalfeldt invites you to follow the clues and come to your own conclusions in this entertaining political potboiler, made all the more amazing because it's true
