Review

"America's Mayor is a book wherein the plain truth savages a petty capricious poseur one Rudy Giuliani..." -- Malachy McCourt, author of the international best-seller A Monk’s Swimming

"In a vibrant democracy, no politician deserves a free ride, and America's Mayor provides a highly valuable service: telling the whole story of Rudy Giuliani. This book is a crucial and convincing reminder that both before 9/11 and after the dust settled, Giuliani was hardly a hero. America's Mayor serves up a powerful indictment of a flawed political leader, casting a bright-as-the-sun spotlight on Giuliani's arrogance, his crass ambitions, his ethical lapses, his politics of division, and his policy failures (including those that caused NYC to be less prepared for 9/11). It chronicles the high costs that others have had to pay for his failures. No one should ponder Giuliani's future without reading this collection." -- David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation

"When it comes time for voters to judge Giuliani's fitness for national office, this book will be the essential dossier." -- John R. MacArthur, Publisher of Harper's Magazine

"[A] welcome antidote to the encomiums heaped upon America's mayor after Sept. 11th, 2001, by so many people who forgot or never bothered to find out where Mr. Giuliani stood on Sept 10." -- The New York Times

"[S]erves up a powerful indictment of a flawed political leader, casting a bright-as-the-sun spotlight on Giuliani..." -- David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation
