Plunkitt of Tammany Hall by William Riordon

Morton's review:

Plunkitt of Tammany Hall

Rarely is a political book as entertaining as it is informative.  This is one of those rarities.  Riordon provides a classic examination of the reality of big-city politics as it was practiced a century ago.  Any principled person considering a career in politics should read this book to understand what makes many self-interested, career politicians tick.
