“The guts of the book comes from hardcore, daylight-to-dark ground reporting, culled from more than 100 people who eventually agreed to talk with us. Because of the tangled web of legal issues, job security and fear of reprisals, many of them would only talk on background — or, in the verbiage of old-school journalism, “off the record.” We didn’t like that notion, but relented because in simple terms, all we wanted to do is get to the truth.”
