English | ISBN: 0801478847 | 2013 | 312 pages | PDF | 29 MB
"This is the book that political science professors and editorial writers should read before they write their learned sermons about the evils of Tammany Hall. The authors write with love and sadness about 'contracts,' pols on the take, pouring water from rooftops onto Socialist candidates, and spitting in the face of Jimmy Walker because Irish cops were pushing around Jewish storekeepers. This is the way New York looked from a red brick clubhouse on East Broadway."―Richard Reeves, New York Times
"Eisenstein is of the old school of Democratic politics, a fieldworker, having put in more than fifty years plowing up the East Side voters in the John Ahearn district for Tammany candidates. Eisenstein writes of things known only to those who worked at the grass roots."―Michael O'Brien, New York Daily News
