Descripción editorial

“The best book ever written about an American city, by the best journalist of his time.”— Jimmy Breslin

In the turbulent world of Chicago politics, Boss dives deep into the captivating life and legacy of Richard J. Daley, the influential politician and mastermind behind the city’s Democratic Party machine.

Mike Royko’s scathing and meticulously researched account follows Richard J. Daley’s rise to power, from his inauspicious youth on Chicago’s South Side through his rapid climb to the seat of power as the city’s mayor.

This engrossing biography brings to life the most powerful political figure of his time. With witty insight and unwavering honesty, Royko unveils Daley’s controversial tactics, his laissez-faire policy toward corruption, and his unprecedented influence as a “kingmaker.” From milestone achievements to cardinal sins, this eye-opening biography paints a vivid portrait of Daley, making Boss a must-read for history buffs, political enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the inner workings of power.

Uncover the secrets and the undeniable legacy of the last of the backroom Caesars in this compelling portrait of politics and power.

This new edition includes an introduction in which the author reflects on Daley’s death and the future of Chicago.
