Cannato, Vincent
THE UNGOVERNABLE CITY: JOHN LINDSAY AND HIS STRUGGLE TO SAVE NEW YORK
: . . . . Hardcover; 1st Printing. Elected in 1965, Lindsay was an unlikely mayor of the Big Apple: a liberal Republican and a Yale graduate, he was good-looking, sophisticated, patrician and Protestant, in contrast with former mayors who, modest in background and appearance, more closely resembled the average working New Yorker. Cannato's biography as much about New York, postwar electoral politics and "the decline of the city and the crisis of liberalism" as it is about Lindsay himself portrays a politician who valued reform over party lines, intelligence over cant, and who ultimately failed (some claim spectacularly) with the best intentions; 8vo ; 701/index pages. and newly mylared dust jacket.. . ISBN Number:. Keywords:[History: Schools: Churches: Cities, New York City, John Lindsay, Government, Mayors ( City), All, Autobiography & Biography, History, Political Science & Government, History::American, Americana]
