In the turbulent world of Chicago politics, Boss dives deep into the captivating life and legacy of Richard J. Daley, the influential politician and mastermind behind the city's Democratic Party machine.

Mike Royko's scathing and meticulously researched account follows Richard J. Daley's rise to power, from his inauspicious youth on Chicago's South Side through his rapid climb to the seat of power as the city's mayor.

This engrossing biography brings to life the most powerful political figure of his time. With witty insight and unwavering honesty, Royko unveils Daley's controversial tactics, his laissez-faire policy toward corruption, and his unprecedented influence as a "kingmaker." From milestone achievements to cardinal sins, this eye-opening biography paints a vivid portrait of Daley, making Boss a must-listen for history buffs, political enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the inner workings of power.

Uncover the secrets and the undeniable legacy of the last of the backroom Caesars in this compelling portrait of politics and power.

This new edition includes an introduction in which the author reflects on Daley's death and the future of Chicago.

So this is the Royko I’ve heard so much about. This book should be required reading for every Chicagoan. A compelling story well told by the finest in journalism. To the point, clear, compelling about one of the most influential figures in Chicago history.

Chicago History

As a native Chicagoan who grew up in the city and worked across the street from City Hall, where I would occasionally see Daley the younger, it brought back memories. This book is a tale of a large metropolis that is just a collection of neighborhoods. Even today, my hometown has the shadow of Richard J. Daley hovering over it, casting a large shadow. I am on a city council in another state. I read this book as a reminder of what not to do as a public servant. During his tenure, Mayor Daley built many things in Chicago. He did some good and terrible things, too. This book looks at everything: the good, the bad, and everything in between! Mike Royko's book is outstanding study on the life of the man and it is well worth the read.

Liked the way information was presented and the oral presentation. It is eye opening how easily demagogues can take over a city.
