Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"The new edition of Bayor's Fiorello La Guardia offers a wise, approachable introduction to the life and times of perhaps the best-studied mayor in American history [...] Bayor relates all the key episodes of the Little Flower's career, locating them acutely in the political and social contexts in which they unfolded--amid the arc of reform politics in the hustle and bustle of early twentieth-century New York City." - Mason B. Williams, Williams College, for the Italian American Review (2019)
