Chris Christie: The Inside Story of His Rise to Power is a political profile of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie by Bob Ingle and Michael G. Symons, two experienced journalists.[1][2]

United States Attorney

Christie was told that President Bush had decided to nominate him for appointment to his first political job, United States Attorney for New Jersey, on September 10, [3] Ingle and Symons write that the appointee might have faced a political battle, but that the September 11 attacks made New Jersey's Democratic senators, Jon Corzine and Robert Toricelli decide to give President Bush the personnel he wanted as the Bush administration worked to respond to Islamist terrorism.[1]

Christie used his position as United States Attorney for New Jersey not only to prosecute terrorism cases, but to uncover and prosecute political corruption.
