"This book is a highly personal glimpse into the world of
precinct, district, and county politics. It deals with several
stripes of the Tammany Tiger and brings into close focus some of
the most forceful background figures in New York City's political
framework. Primarily, it is a forty-year panorama of Tammany
practices and personalities." from A Stripe of Tammany's Tiger
In this fascinating book, first published in 1966, Louis
Eisenstein, a Tammany precinct captain from Manhattan s Lower East
Side, sets out with his coauthor Elliot Rosenberg to chronicle the
evolution or rather devolution of New York City politics through
the first seven decades of the twentieth century. Eisenstein imbues
his lively narrative with an overarching theme: that personal
interactions and good faith between those at all levels of power
are of paramount importance both for sustained political success
and for competent municipal administration."
