"Suckers & Swindlers" provides a range of online resources that complement my book, Fraud: An American History from Barnum to Madoff.  A portion of the content represents material that sometimes appears within the covers of a scholarly book, such a full bibliography.  But I also have posted lots of other material – essays about sources and methods, the scholarship on American business fraud, and avenues for additional research; links to reviews/discussions of the book; and much else besides.  The site will eventually furnish a platform for the provision of primary sources, including an image gallery, along with other teaching materials. A long-term project such as this one benefits from collaborations and help along the way. Please click here to learn more about the team behind this site.
