商品簡介
A comprehensive tour through the colorful life and revolutionary leadership of one of New York City's most well-known mayors is provided to readers in Fiorello La Guardia: The People's Mayor. La Guardia, a political outsider who defended the common man during a pivotal moment in the city's history, is vividly portrayed in this compelling biography.
From his election as mayor in 1934 to his defiance of political traditions as a Republican in a largely Democratic city, this book peels back the layers of La Guardia's complex psyche.
Along with his revolutionary ideas that changed New York forever, he also claims credit for them. Discover the visionaries who made it possible to construct the Triborough Bridge, establish LaGuardia Airport, and launch ground-breaking public housing programs.
La Guardia's grassroots approach, exemplified by his "people's court" sessions and in-person contacts with many groups, is something that the story highlights beyond politics.
He overcame racial barriers, was inclusive, and demonstrated unwavering determination to advancing workers' rights during the challenging Great Depression years.
Throughout its intricate portrait of La Guardia's career, the book explores his innovative methods of government, his social welfare programs, and the enduring consequences of his progressive ideas.
Rising above party conventions, this People's Mayor-a beacon of bipartisanship-left an enduring legacy that continues to resonate across the whole city of New York.
Fiorello La Guardia: The People's Mayor delves deeper than a biography to explore civic engagement, leadership, and the transformative power of an individual's commitment to societal progress.
In order to understand how La Guardia's influence continues to create the current metropolis, readers are encouraged to revisit a significant moment in urban history through the well-written and extensively researched work, FIORELLO LA GUARDIA: THE PEOPLE'S MAYOR.
