Beatty, Jack. THE RASCAL KING The Life and Times of James Michael Curley, 1874-1958. Reading MA: Addison- Wesley Publishing, c. 1992.
Small roughened area on front cover's bottom edge, otherwise minor soil and wear on the sound, very slightly bowed binding. Very minor edge soil. Contents are clean and unmarked. Very minor edge wear on the clean, complete dust jacket. ; Dark blue cloth spine, bright copper lettering. Photo endpapers. Index. 32p b/w photos. BIOGRAPHY. James Michael Curley, the real life character on whom Edwin O'Connor based his classic novel THE LAST HURRAH. Curley was a seminal figure in the 20th century's battle between two funadmentally different views of the ends of politics: one, the conservative ideal of government as no more than the neutral arbiter of rules and standards; the other, an expansive vision of government as a foce attending to human needs. Beatty offers a compelling readable portrait of this American archetype, looking through Curley's experience to the larger story of his city, his people, and his times. Curley rose from the Irish slums to become mayor of Boston, a congressman, and governor of Massachusetts. The last of the old-time political bosses, he was also the first of the modern political entrepreneurs, and his story is the story of urban, ethnic Ameirca, from the mid-nineteenth century when the Celtic flood provoked a Protestant revolt, to the mid-twentieth when the Boston Irish sent one of their own to the White House. It is the saga of what America did to the Irish - and of the Irish legacy to America. ; 9-1/2" Tall; 571 pages. 0201175991.
