"For those interested in how to politick successfully at a local level, George Washington Plunkitt's advice can be illuminating. Though much has changed since the height of Tammany Hall power, not much about mass vote and political pandering has. He speaks of taking care of your constituents in an almost religious way. What is striking is his overwhelming honesty concerning the business of politics, which may be disturbing to some, and may be useful to those interested in leading a political careers. What, in my opinion, is most important to note about Plunkitt's policies is his sheer busy-ness, his intense involvement in his district, and his devotion and unwavering belief in the organization he was a part of."
"This is such a great political science book. Compiled from Plunkitt's many interviews and speeches with reporters, it reads easy and fast. He was definitely a contagious character and it shows in the literature. You cannot get enough of this Boss, but sadly it comes to an end way too soon."
