Duke Cunningham was a true hero. In Vietnam, Cunningham, a fighter pilot, became the first Naval "ace" since the Korean War. Cunningham parlayed his renown into a career in politics, ultimately going to Congress representing a district in Southern California -- and becoming one of the most corrupt Congressmen in U.S. history. The details are now told in a new book by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Copley News Service journalists who first broke the Cunningham story. Jerry Kammer, George Condon, and Marcus Stern call their book "The Wrong Stuff."
