It deals with several stripes of the Tammany Tiger and brings into close focus some of the most forceful background figures in New York City's political framework. Primarily, it is a forty-year panorama of Tammany practices and personalities."-from A Stripe of Tammany's TigerIn this fascinating book, first published in 1966, Louis Eisenstein, a Tammany precinct captain from Manhattan's Lower East Side, sets out with his coauthor Elliot Rosenberg to chronicle the evolution-or rather devolution-of New York City politics through the first seven decades of the twentieth century. Eisenstein imbues his lively narrative with an overarching theme: that personal interactions and good faith between those at all levels of power are of paramount importance both for sustained political success and for competent municipal administration.Politics, PracticalNew York (N.Y.)Politics and government1898-1951New York (N.Y.)Politics and government1951-Politics, Practical.320.974710904Eisenstein Louis1915-239754Rosenberg Elliot1552788MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792002603321A stripe of Tammany's tiger3812883UNINA
