Don't Make No Waves-Don't Back No Losers An Insider's Analysis of the Daley Machine

Tis is simply the best book that has been written about politics in Chicago. In the words of Andrew M. Greeley, "It is a very astute and dispassionate analysis of Chicago political life -- far and away the best I have ever seen. Rakove is without illusions about either the right or the left." Rakove brings to his study an intimate knowledge of Chicago and the Daley machine, a practitioner's understanding of street-level politics, and a scholar's background in political theory. Blending anecdote with theory and description in a lively style, Rakove has bridged the gap between scholar and layman in a work that will appeal to both.Rakove, Milton L. is the author of 'Don't Make No Waves-Don't Back No Losers An Insider's Analysis of the Daley Machine' with ISBN 9780253202024 and ISBN 0253202027.
