Review
Jimmy Breslin
A pungent and precise portrait of how big-city politics work. And it is brisk and lively reading in the bargain. Muckraking at its best, a remorseless book that bites and tears.
Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times
There s nobody better than Mike Royko writing politics anywhere in the country today. About the book? It s Daley; Royko s got him to the life. And it s Chicago. Even if you ve never been there you know it s Chicago. A fine job.
Russell Baker, The New York Times
"Stunning, astonishing, myth-shattering!"
Studs Terkel, New York Times Book Review
"Without question the most devastating dissection of a personal municipal fief I've ever read Brilliant!"
John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate
"A great book Chicago and the lesser towns that make up urban America may or may not die. But you won't understand why they hurst so much until you read Boss."
The Washington Post
