I don’t know how I came to this book. Not true. I had a conversation with a friend who worked for him. She did not recommend the book. Rather she painted a fascinating picture of the man. I’m at a time when I am thinking about impacting my city and what I will leave behind. And love him and loathe him few have done more to Chicago than Rich. I am half way through. It more about policy than the man. TBC

Mayor Daley controlled my hometown for much of my memorable life. I am just old enough to remember the election of his real predecessor, Mayor Harold Washington, and the religious fever that swept the Black Chicago community life wildfire leaving barren earth upon death. As such, Mayor Daley entered city torn with racial strife and economic divestment.
