Book synopsis

Tis is simply the best book that has been written about politics inChicago. In the words of Andrew M. Greeley, "It is a very astute and dispassionateanalysis of Chicago political life -- far and away the best I have ever seen. Rakoveis without illusions about either the right or the left." Rakove brings to his studyan intimate knowledge of Chicago and the Daley machine, a practitioner'sunderstanding of street-level politics, and a scholar's background in politicaltheory. Blending anecdote with theory and description in a lively style, Rakove hasbridged the gap between scholar and layman in a work that will appeal toboth.
