reviewed Plunkitt of Tammany Hall: A Series of Very Plain Talks on Very Practical Politics on
Great insight into how politics really works--a glimpse behind closed doors that is as relevant today as it was eighty years ago--delivered by a fascinating, quirky, larger-than-life character who is unafraid to put forth his practical, homespun advice. Plunkitt is refreshingly frank in an age of double-talk and spin.
