Who cleans up for power? Who makes scandals survivable, turns crimes into “mistakes,” buys silence, buries evidence, reshapes headlines, calms investors, manages victims, and keeps the machine moving?
The Fixers is a sweeping, full-length history of the hidden industry of damage control from the late nineteenth century to the present. It follows the people, firms and systems that step in when corporations, governments, churches, celebrities, police departments, financial institutions and political machines are threatened by exposure. Their names change—private detectives, strikebreakers, public-relations men, crisis consultants, white-shoe lawyers, reputation managers, intelligence contractors, restructuring specialists—but the core job stays the same: protect power from consequence.
Beginning with the private armies and labour spies of the Gilded Age, The Fixers traces how open coercion gradually merged with softer and more sophisticated methods. The book moves through the labour wars, company towns, Ivy Lee and the birth of modern public relations, the rise of corporate legal defence, the insurance system, Watergate, tobacco’s manufacture of doubt, internal investigations, NDAs, victim-management systems, private intelligence, digital reputation management, bankruptcy innovation, platform moderation, and the anti-union and security industries that still form the coercive bedrock beneath the polished surface. Along the way it takes in major case studies including BCCI, the 2008 financial crisis, Boeing, Purdue and the Sacklers, Flint, Deepwater Horizon, Catholic Church abuse scandals, Cambridge Analytica, and more.
What emerges is not a string of isolated scandals but a single historical structure. The Fixers argues that modern capitalism does not simply produce harm and then apologise badly. It has built an enormous professional apparatus to contain fallout, delay accountability, disperse blame, price catastrophe, and preserve ownership. Law firms, PR agencies, consultants, investigators, lobbyists, insurers, crisis managers and digital operatives do not sit at the edge of the system. They are part of how it functions. They are the people who manage the gap between what powerful institutions do and what they need the public to keep believing about them.
This is a book about more than corruption, spin, or “bad apples.” It is about a whole social order that repeatedly generates injury, fraud, cover-up and institutional survival as part of normal operation. It shows how victims are processed, how outrage is paced and cooled, how blame is narrowed to a few disposable figures, and how wealth and power are shielded while the bill is pushed downward onto workers, communities, consumers and the future. Written in plain, forceful prose and backed by deep endnotes, The Fixers is both hidden history and present-day field guide. If you want to understand how the modern world keeps absorbing disaster without changing course, this is the anatomy of the people who make that possible

"I am taking her back to the cult… Because of mind control… I have something like Stockholm Syndrome… My dad created a red herring so that nobody will believe you... You will never see her again…”
These words echoed off the walls of our little apartment in the weeks prior to the abduction of my three-year-old daughter as my first wife fought through her trauma-based programming in an attempt to warn me of what was to come. And then, two days after Christmas in 2010, I gave my daughter a hug, believing that she was going to the library down the street with her mom. As far as I knew, I would be reading her a bedtime story and tucking her into bed that evening.
But I never saw her again. The police wouldn’t help, the U.S. Embassy told me it was out of their jurisdiction, and my family turned their backs on me. I tried to solve the problem on my own, which led to my incarceration in Poland for fifty months.
This book is a voice for my first wife and our daughter. It is a voice for ritual abuse survivors and victims everywhere who must be heard. This book obliterates the red herring. It demands justice for those oppressed by cults practicing ritual abuse and mind control, and it points us to our only hope.https://amzn.to/4grvDQx

In 1969, Nelson Conway Sr. opened the door to public corporate investment in Las Vegas gaming. That move changed the balance of power and drove organized crime out of the desert forever.
This is the true story of that fight.
Told by the son who watched his father fight for change in Vegas during the golden age of Mob-controlled gambling, this book reveals a side of the city rarely seen in gangster histories. It follows Nelson Conway Sr., a certified public accountant and local businessman, as he and his partners worked to build the Showboat Hotel and Casino free from Mob influence.
Part memoir and part true crime history, this book brings forward the voices of the Las Vegans who lived through the Mob’s arrival and had to decide whether to adapt, resist, or be pushed aside. It also uncovers the author’s personal search to understand who his father really was.
This is the untold story of the local men who fought for the future of Las Vegas.Book
