BOSS TWEED: The Corrupt Pol who Conceived the Soul of Modern New York

William Magear Tweed, America's most corrupt politician ever, ruled New York City in the 1860s and 1870s. He rigged the votes, bribed the legislature, and stole on a massive scale. But even in prison, even after escaping, being recaptured, and confessing it all, people still loved and admired him. Tweed's is a stunning tale of pride, fall, and redemption.

"[An] excelling new biography of the Boss ... told in a crisp, clear way." --Pete Hamill, New York Times book Review
