Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical, character-driven account of the life of Noel Shacklett, a politician in a rural Illinois county during the latter half of the 19th century. The author provides deep insights into the workings of rural politics in that time period, emphasizing the role of personal relationships, patronage, and often unethical local party bosses in securing electoral success. While this book may not be immediately recognizable to everyone, it is conceptually similar to other works that have detailed the regularly-unethical foundations of local government and the political machines that ran them, like "Boss" Tweed: The Story Behind the Man who Built Tammany Hall by Kenneth Ackerman. The author goes on to explore, through many rich anecdotes and political maneuvers, themes of good versus evil, loyalty's complexities, how power corrupts, and whether attaining political power ever adequately satisfies. This book is a fascinating read both for fans of historical fiction and for those interested in political science and the history of the United States in the 19th century.
