Rizzo



The Last Big Man in Big City America


S.A. Paolantonio
New introduction by John F. Timoney


He deserved this honest, thorough and fair biography.
The Wall Street Journal


This well-researched, savvy biography...is a worthy addition to books about urban politics.
Publishers Weekly



Here is the 10th anniversary edition of the first full-scale biography of Frank Rizzo, one of the most beloved and feared public figures in urban American history. Sweeping and finely detailed, this is a work of scholarship that reads like a novel, packed with colorful new details and revealing new stories about a man whose life demonstrated how the force of personality can affect history.
