Description
1 New York Times bestselling author Craig
Whitlockâs masterful account of one of the
biggest public corruption scandals in American
historyâexposing how a charismatic Malaysian
defense contractor bribed scores of
high-ranking military officers, defrauded the US
Navy of tens of millions of dollars, and
jeopardized our nationâs security.All
the admirals in the US Navy knew Leonard Glenn
Francisâeither personally or by his legendary
reputation. He was the larger- than-life defense
contractor who greeted them on the pier whenever
they visited ports in Asia, ready to show them
a good time after weeks at sea while his company
resupplied their ships and submarines. He was
famed throughout the fleet for the gluttonous
parties he hosted for officers 1,000-per- person
dinners at Asiaâs swankiest restaurants,
featuring unlimited Dom PÃrignon, Cuban cigars,
and sexy young women. On the surface, with his
flawless American accent, he seemed like a true
friend of the Navy. What the brass didnât
realize, until far too late, was that Francis
had seduced them by exploiting their entitlement
and hubris. While he was bribing them with gifts,
lavish meals, and booze-fueled orgies, he was
making himself obscenely wealthy by
bilking American taxpayers. Worse, he was
stealing military secrets from under the
admiralsâ noses and compromising
national security. Based on reams of confidential
documentsâincluding the blackmail files that
Francis kept on Navy officersâFat Leonard is
the full, unvarnished story of a world-class con
man and a captivating testament to the corrosive
influence of greed within the ranks of the
American military.
