“You think politics today is tough? You ain’t seen nothing ’til you’ve read Fred Lucas’s Tainted by Suspicion.” – Craig Shirley, presidential historian and best selling author

Dick Morris, a former presidential advisor and best selling author, said: "Fred Lucas, wise in the ways of Washington (both George and DC), has penned a book exploring the presidential election controversies, highlighting those in particular where one man won the popular vote and the other won the electoral college. I love books that capture the moments in pivotal elections. It is a great way to study history, akin to using an autopsy to study anatomy. This book is for junkies, like me."

April 25, 2016 (Newswire) - An outsider with a big personality – riding a wave of public outrage – is willing to use foul language to take on the political establishment in his quest for the presidency. The role of religion, race and class become heated points of contention among voters. A lame duck president rushes to change the face of the judiciary before leaving office. All the while, politicians and surrogates resort to underhanded skullduggery to ensure victory.

This is NOT the 2016 presidential race. Rather it’s a descriptions of key events from the most controversial presidential elections in American history – contests that dragged well beyond election night and were ultimately decided by separate branches of government, leaving much of the public feeling their president was selected not elected.

Tainted by Suspicion: The Secret Deals and Electoral Chaos of Disputed Presidential Elections by Fred Lucas, tells the story of the nation’s four most controversial elections and two honorable mentions. Through interviews with prominent historians, academics and political insiders, the author examines the sometime alarming what-ifs of Aaron Burr emerging victorious from the electoral tie of 1800, an earlier Andrew Jackson presidency, Samuel Tilden carrying the 1876 election and Al Gore coming out on top of the 2000 Florida fiasco. The oddities of the elections of 1888 and 1960 are also explained.

Fred Lucas is the White House correspondent for TheBlaze, and has reported on politics for more than a dozen years. A graduate of Columbia Journalism School, Lucas is veteran of Washington journalism after reporting from state capitols.

Tainted by Suspicion will be available in print and ebook at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, StairwayPress.com, kobo, the iBookstore, and Ingram.

Interviews with Fred Lucas can be arranged via Chris Benson at chris@stairwayrpress.com.
