Philip Ross is a writer and psychotherapist. He is the brother of
Burt Ross, the subject of The Bribe. He lives with his wife and six
chickens in the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York.
“The Bribe is one of the most revealing books ever written
about American politics, because at its worst, politics is about
money. That’s why one mayor can be offered a $500,000 bribe. This
time the mayor, Burt Ross, turned it down, which makes the
bribe one hell of a story.” —Richard Reeves, Emmy Award winner
and former chief correspondent, Frontline
“The Bribe is a fast paced and compelling tale. It takes
courage to turn down a fortune and stand up to the mob. Mayor Burt
Ross did it and his story makes startling reading.” —Jack Anderson,
Pulitzer Prize winner
“When The Bribe was first published in 1976, it
immediately set the standard for investigative accounts of
political skullduggery. Today, this book’s prophetic insights into
New Jersey’s current dirty tricks make it required reading.”
—Daniel Klein, New York Times–bestselling author
“In all my years in New Jersey politics, I have witnessed more
corruption than I care to remember. But only once have I seen
something so memorable as what Burt Ross did when he was mayor of
Fort Lee. It’s a dramatic story told in intimate detail in The
Bribe, a fast paced book that reads like fiction. You won’t be able
to put it down.” —Loretta Weinberg, New Jersey senate majority
leader and cochair, New Jersey select committee on
investigation
