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. 606 $aPolitics, Practical 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xPolitics and government$y1898-1951 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xPolitics and government$y1951- 615 0$aPolitics, Practical. 676 $a320.974710904 700 $aEisenstein$b Louis$f1915-$0239754 701 $aRosenberg$b Elliot$01552788 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792002603321 996 $aA stripe of Tammany's tiger$93812883 997 $aUNINA
