Investigative journalist Alfred Henry Lewis gives this biography of Richard Croker, a leading figure in the corrupt political machine known as Tammany Hall, which exercised a great deal of control over New York politics from the 1860s to the 1900s. During his tenure as Grand Sachem of the Tammany Association, Boss Croker garnered a reputation for corruption and ruthlessness and was frequently the subject of investigations on multiple scandals. The book gives his story as ghost written by Lewis.
