Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This non-fiction book examines the effects of political and commercial corruption in American cities during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author, through detailed accounts of investigations and prosecutions that took place in St. Louis, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, demonstrates the far-reaching effects of corruption as it permeated the social fabric of these municipalities.
