โฆ Synopsis
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] excellent new biography of the Boss .. told in a crisp clear way. --Pete Hamill, New York Times Book Review
