Opis

Legal scripts and newspaper quotes form this backbone of this account of New York City governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's investigation into the corrupt city government of the high-living Night Mayor of New York City, Jimmy Walker. The crackdown, the largest ever in US history, dethroned Walker, paved the way for Roosevelt's career as president after almost ruining his chances, and brought the roaring Jazz Age to an end.
