Book Description
Journal of the Plague Year is an intimate account of 61 hours, from the moment on March 9, 2008, when Lloyd Constantine, senior advisor to Spitzer, received a phone call from Spitzer revealing facts the entire world would learn the next morning, until Spitzers March 12 news conference. It is also an inside account of the 16 tumultuous months of Spitzers administration that preceded the resignation.
Told with candor, brutal honesty, and knowledge unique to the author, this is a story about spectacular achievement, boundless political promise, and a shared vision for rebuilding a state and the nation, squandered in little more than a year. Constantine gives us personal insight and understanding into the dramatic implosion of Spitzers career. More than a recounting of one mans political downfall, it is also the story of male rivalry and a deep and abiding friendship between two complex men.
