Beatty, a contributor to the Atlantic, follows the climb of the notorious four-term Boston mayor (1874-1958) from Irish slums to political power in this full-length biography, originally published in 1992. Beatty weighs Curley's compassion, charisma and genius against his megalomania and two jail sentences.
