Dialogue drives the gritty action of The City through the tough streets and bare knuckled politics of Chicago in the 1970s. In a reality available only to those who lived it, first time novelist, George Benda, takes you down those streets and through the web of political power in a turbulent era. Shredded by race riots, hung over from the violence of the 1968 Democratic Convention, Chicago in 1976 presented the greatest of leadership challenges. And at that moment its iron fisted leader, Mayor Richard J. Daley, met his end. On this canvas, Benda draws the nuts and bolts of the machinery that made Daley's Chicago run. He uses it to raise questions that everyone living in a democratic society must answer: how does a community best survive and prosper?
