A balanced account of a controversial urban politician

This is a memoir about the late Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago written by his press secretary. It explains how Daley was able to win support from substantial majorities of that city's voters from all racial and ethnic groups in six consecutive elections. The author, a former newspaper reporter, tells the story fairly but with obvious admiration for his subject.
