In the pantheon of politicians people love to hate, Rudy Giuliani is number one. But how much Rudy-bashing is mindless, and how much is meaningful? Former New York City mayor Ed Koch answers that question in Nasty Man, which chronicles Giuliani's two terms in office from the vantage point of a man qualified to judge a Big Apple mayor's performance. Koch exposes Giuliani's nastiness as an impediment to effective governing.
Edward Irving "Ed" Koch was an American lawyer, politician, and political commentator. He served in the United States House of Representatives from 1969 to 1977 and three terms as mayor of New York City from 1978 to 1989. He also became known as a "judge" on the television judge show The People's Court from 1997 to 1999.
