Description: Mike Royko, along with Pete Hamill and Jimmy Breslin, was considered one of the most insightful and entertaining newspapermen of his generation. His columns captured with humor and grace the unique character of everyday life in Chicago, and his book on Richard J. Daley, the Mayor who dominated Chicago politics for decades, is as good as you might expect. Jimmy Breslin, aka JB #1, called it the best book about an American city.
