Pendergast, the Pendergast name still evokes great interest and even controversy. Now, in this first full-scale biography of Pendergast, Lawrence H. Larsen and Nancy J. Hulston have successfully provided-through extensive research, including use of recently released prison records and previously unavailable family records-a clear look at the life of Thomas J. Pendergast.Born in St. Joseph, Missouri, in 1872, Tom Pendergast moved to Kansas City around 1890 to work for his brother James, founder of the Pendergast "Goat" faction in Kansas City Democratic politics. In 1911, Pendergast became head of the Goats, and over the next fifteen years he created a powerful political machine that used illegal voting and criminal enforcers to gain power. Following a change in the city charter in 1925, Pendergast took control of Kansas City and ran it as his own personal business. In the 1930s, he received over $30 million annually from gambling, prostitution, and narcotics, putting him in the big leagues of American civic corruption. He also wielded great power in the National Democratic Party and started Harry S. Truman on the road to the presidency.In this well-balanced biography, the authors examine Pendergast's rise to power, his successes as a political leader, his compassion for the destitute, and his reputation for keeping his word. They also examine Pendergast's character development and how his methods became more and more ruthless. Pendergast had no use for ideology in his "invisible government"-only votes counted.In 1937 and 1938 the federal government broke the back of Pendergast's machine, convicting 259 of his campaign aides for vote fraud. In 1939 Pendergast, who was believed to be the largest bettor on horse racing in the United States, was jailed for income tax evasion, and he died in disgrace in 1945.An insightful and comprehensive biography, Pendergast! will surely serve for years to come as the most thorough investigation of the life and infamous career of Tom Pendergast. 410 0$aMissouri biography series. 606 $aPolitical corruption$zMissouri$zKansas City$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPoliticians$zMissouri$zKansas City$xBiography 607 $aKansas City (Mo.)$xPolitics and government 615 0$aPolitical corruption$xHistory 615 0$aPoliticians$xBiography. 676 $a977.8/411042/092 676 $aB 700 $aLarsen$b Lawrence H$g(Lawrence Harold),$f1931-2017.$01812781 701 $aHulston$b Nancy J$01812782 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972710403321 996 $aPendergast$94365366 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04699nam 22005775 450 001 9911011774803321 005 20250620130314.0 010 $a981-9644-26-7 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-96-4426-1 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC32164000 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL32164000 035 $a(CKB)39412073500041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-96-4426-1 035 $a(OCoLC)1526860843 035 $a(EXLCZ)9939412073500041 100 $a20250620d2025 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aSupply Chain in Humanitarian Operations $eManaging Disruption Through Intervention and Innovation /$fedited by Nor Aida Abdul Rahman, Kamran Mahroof, Juliater Simarmata 205 $a1st ed. 2025. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Nature Singapore :$cImprint: Springer,$d2025. 215 $a1 online resource (257 pages) 225 1 $aSustainable Development Goals Series,$x2523-3092 311 08$a981-9644-25-9 327 $aChapter 1:Research on Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain -- Chapter 2: Optimizing Humanitarian Logistics: A Framework for Rapid Response to Supply Chain Disruptions in Crisis Situations -- Chapter 3: A thematic review on critical success factor in Humanitarian Logistics -- PART II: Technology Trends in Humanitarian Logistics -- Chapter 4: Innovation Adoption in Humanitarian Logistics: A Framework for Evaluating the Implementation of Cutting-Edge Technologies in Relief Operations -- Chapter 5:From Crisis to Resilience: Advancing Humanitarian Logistics Through the Lens of Emerging Technologies -- Chapter 6: Integration of Technology and Aeromedical Services in Humanitarian Operations: A Case Study Approach -- Chapter 7: Empowering Humanitarian Endeavours: Exploring Technological Innovations for Enhanced Food Safety and Security in Aid Operations" -- Chapter 8: An Integrated Approach to Technology-Enabled Coordination in Humanitarian Supply Chains: A Resilience Framework" -- Chapter 9: The emerging role of technology in mitigating risk in humanitarian supply chain -- Chapter 10: Using AI to assist humanitarian efforts: Possibilities and hazards -- Chapter 11: How block chain technology manages supply chain risks -- Chapter 12:Biometric technology in Humanitarian Sector -- Part III: Future Directions -- Chapter 13: Regulations and Procedure in Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain: Post Pandemic Era -- Chapter 14: Humanitarian logistics and lesson learnt from Covid-19 -- Chapter 15: Humanitarian Logistics 4.0: Future Research Agenda. 330 $aThis book explores the pivotal role of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management in ensuring effective response and relief efforts during crises.
