The Boss, and How He Came to Rule New York is a non-fiction book written by Alfred Henry Lewis that chronicles the rise of political boss William M. Tweed in New York City during the late 19th century. The book explores Tweed's early life, his entry into politics, and his eventual domination of the city's political machine, Tammany Hall. Lewis delves into the corrupt practices of Tweed and his associates, including bribery, kickbacks, and election fraud, and the impact they had on the city's government and citizens. The author also examines the efforts of reformers and journalists to expose and dismantle Tweed's power, culminating in his arrest and conviction. The Boss is a vivid and engaging account of one of the most notorious political figures in American history and the corrupt system that allowed him to thrive.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
