A reformer who was always colorful, provocative, and controversial,
Dan Walker became a political maverick, taking on Mayor Richard J.
Daley's vaunted Chicago machine and the powerful incumbent Richard
Ogilvie to become the governor of Illinois. The Maverick and the
Machine tells the dramatic story of Walker's rise from dirtpoor
beginnings to the pinnacle of power in Illinois and his conviction
on charges of bank fraud that landed him in federal prison. This
frank volume also probes the inner sanctum of the governorship and
reviews the investigations of Governor Blagojevich's administration
and the criminal trial of former governor George Ryan. Best Memoir
of 2008, San Diego Book Awards Illinois State Historical Society
Certificate of Excellence, 2008
