Andrew McKenna - Sheer Madness Event
About Sheer Madness:
From Federal Prosecutor to Federal Prisoner recounts one
man’s journey from the heights of the Justice Department to the throes of addiction. Former U.S. Justice Department attorney, Andrew McKenna’s new memoir, “Sheer Madness: From Federal Prosecutor to Federal Prisoner,” chronicles his life, from humble upbringings in upstate New York, to the military, law school, and ultimately the U.S. Justice Department. McKenna details about his struggles with depression, prescription drugs, and heroin, and what led this rising star to rob a half dozen banks in New York and Vermont.
"There are former bank robbers who have written books. There are former Justice Department prosecutors who have written books. And there are former federal prisoners who have written books,” said Richard Stratton, author of Altered States of America and former High Times editor. “But Andrew McKenna is the only man I know of who has done it all: been a Special Prosecutor for the Department of Justice; been a bank robber; and served time in federal prison. He's now written an amazing, tellall book about his multi-phased life. It’s a must read for anyone who cares to know of the perils of prescription drug use.”
