Synopsis:
The nephew of an old-style Irish-American politician becomes involved in his uncle's last campaign for public office
Review: O'Connor's 1956 account of big-city politics, inspired by the career of longtime Boston Mayor James M. Curley, portrays its Irish-American political boss as a demagogue and a rogue who nonetheless deeply understands his constituents. The book was later made into a John Ford film staring Spencer Tracy.
