Rezensionen

"Richard Flanagan has illuminated a dimension of the city's political history and found resonance in mayoral governance today. He shows that Robert Wagner was much more than a gray flannel prelude to the Lindsay years." - Jeffrey Kroessler, John Jay College, USA, author of New York, Year by Year: A Chronology of a Great Metropolis (2002)
