Covering the years between 1902 and 1976 (that is, between Daley's birth and death), authors Adam Cohen and Elizabeth Taylor show us a life that in some ways symbolizes the American dream: a boy from a poor neighborhood grows up to wield unimaginable power, yet never forgets his roots. But Daley's was a complicated legacy. While filling Chicago with modern architecture and affecting national politics, he was also held responsible for the segregation and police brutality that tore the city apart during the late '60s and early '70s. Throughout the book, Cohen and Taylor remind readers that Daley's real influence came from the powerful political machine he created. When he didn't like guidelines from national agencies, for example, he went directly to the presidents he helped get elected. When he got bad local press, people lost their jobs and his neighbors marched in his support. When Martin Luther King Jr. came to town, he was greeted by a handpicked organization of African American leaders with strong ties to Daley's machine. It's startling to remember that this was simply a local office; the mayor's loyalties and prejudices affected the entire country. American Pharaoh shows politics at its deepest level, and each chapter brings new insights into a complex man and the system he created in order to rule the city that made him. --Jill Lightner ]]> 1213800 2 1202216 5 2000 American Pharoah total:41|5:9|4:19|3:10|2:3|1:0| 41 157 80 14 1362310 3.79 112 29 53242 3.81 227 62 30278304 149342 1213800 0316834033 9780316834032 14 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181931790m/1213800.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181931790s/1213800.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1213800.American_Pharoah 3.83 41 American Pharaoh includes far more material than your average biography; this is as much the story of the city as it is of the man.

When Martin Luther King Jr. came to town, he was greeted by a handpicked organization of African American leaders with strong ties to Daley's machine. It's startling to remember that this was simply a local office; the mayor's loyalties and prejudices affected the entire country. American Pharaoh shows politics at its deepest level, and each chapter brings new insights into a complex man and the system he created in order to rule the city that made him. --Jill Lightner ]]> 2000 0 0 false Sat Jun 28 11:18:49 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 28 11:18:54 -0700 2008 79128458 2913720 1213800 0316834033 9780316834032 14 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181931790m/1213800.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181931790s/1213800.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1213800.American_Pharoah 3.83 41 American Pharaoh includes far more material than your average biography; this is as much the story of the city as it is of the man. Covering the years between 1902 and 1976 (that is, between Daley's birth and death), authors Adam Cohen and Elizabeth Taylor show us a life that in some ways symbolizes the American dream: a boy from a poor neighborhood grows up to wield unimaginable power, yet never forgets his roots. But Daley's was a complicated legacy. While filling Chicago with modern architecture and affecting national politics, he was also held responsible for the segregation and police brutality that tore the city apart during the late '60s and early '70s. Throughout the book, Cohen and Taylor remind readers that Daley's real influence came from the powerful political machine he created. When he didn't like guidelines from national agencies, for example, he went directly to the presidents he helped get elected. When he got bad local press, people lost their jobs and his neighbors marched in his support.
