520    Why were no bankers put in prison after the financial 
       crisis of 2008? Why do CEOs seem to commit wrongdoing with
       impunity? The problem goes beyond banks deemed "Too Big to
       Fail" to almost every large corporation in America -- to 
       pharmaceutical companies and auto manufacturers and 
       beyond. The Chickenshit Club -- an inside reference to 
       prosecutors too scared of failure and too daunted by legal
       impediments to do their jobs -- explains why. A character-
       driven narrative, the book tells the story from inside the
       Department of Justice. The story spans the last decade and
       a half of prosecutorial fiascoes, corporate lobbying, 
       trial losses, and culture shifts that have stripped the 
       government of the will and ability to prosecute top 
       corporate executives. Exposing one of the most important 
       scandals of our time, this book provides an explanation as
       to how our Justice Department has come to avoid, bungle, 
       and mismanage the fight to bring these alleged criminals 
       to justice.
