About This Item
New York: The Free Press, 2000. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good/very good. xii, 259 p. Illustrations. A Note on Sources. Index. This New York City history chronicles the fall of the Tammany Hall political machine and centers on the the Seabury Commission, a state investigative body under then-governor Franklin Roosevelt, that investigated--and ended the career of--the powerful and popular Mayor Jimmy Walker. Mitgang, a veteran journalist, evokes the turbulent and colorful personalities of the Roaring Twenties and '30s and conveys a sense of old New York, while analyzing a turbulent political scene that involved much risk and whose changes ultimately had national significance.
