"From the monumental (for the time) corruption of Boss Tweed's Tammany Hall, to the vote-buying and graft of recent days, Mr. Solomon reports the misdeeds of those who power corrupted. But, as he shows, the decline of the bosses has not led to a purification of modern politics. His concluding chapters paint a disturbing picture." - publisher.
