520 1 $a"In The Great Mayor, author Alyn Brodsky presents the first comprehensive and accessible biography of Fiorello H. La Guardia. Prior to becoming New York's pre-eminent mayor, La Guardia was a distinguished U.S. congressman, a commander of U.S. air forces during World War I, and a rambunctious member of the U.S. Consular Service. La Guardia was one of our nation's most incorruptible politicians ever, a model of honesty and virtue in American political history.".
520 8 $a"A progressive Republican New York congressman, La Guardia supported women's suffrage and child labor regulations, and was a major proponent of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal, establishing himself as an energetic, effective, and dedicated politician. He brought these same qualities to his three terms as New York City's mayor, transforming the five almost independent boroughs into today's unified city.
520 8 $aHe expanded relief and social services, undertook the construction of parks and public housing, updated mass transit, cleaned up corrupt city departments, and much more."--BOOK JACKET.
