"Essential reading for anyone interested in American cities or in the 1960's." --Washington Post. Vincent Cannato takes us back to the time when John Lindsay stunned New York with his liberal Republican agenda, WASP sensibility, and movie-star good looks. With peerless authority, Cannato explores how Lindsay Liberalism failed to save New York, and, in the opinion of many, left it worse off than it was in the mid-1960's.
Vincent Cannato is currently Adjunct Scholar at the Hudson Institute on Public Policy in Washington, D.C. He lives in Washington, D.C.
