From Rocky to Pataki: Character and Caricatures in New York Politics

Rating:
Summary: Must reading
Review: This book is must reading for anyone who has any hope of understanding the unintelligible -- New York government. With an insider's view and an outsider's objectivity, author Peter Slocum offers a fun and fascinating look at New York, its characters and why it is what it is today (dysfunctional). Hy Rosen's classic cartoons are a constant reminder that we never really had to take any of it seriously. All in all, a fun read for anyone remotely interested in Empire State politics.
