Fiorello La Guardia was an ambitious man who wanted great success
for himself--but he also wanted to advocate on behalf of the poor
and forgotten. Through hard work and perseverance he managed to
achieve both. This work examines the life of the man who not only
became one of New York's greatest and most renowned mayors, but who
brought about some of the most important changes in the history of
the city. This thoroughly revised second edition of Fiorello La
Guardia: Ethnicity, Reform, and Urban Development looks at the many
events of the popular mayor's life--his early beginnings as a
politician, the events surrounding his life and city, his multiple
terms as New York City's Mayor, his personal and professional
disappointments, and his ultimate place in history. It also
examines the broader subject of cities during times of stress, the
ability of mayors to enhance urban life, and the origins of federal
aid to cities. Connects the New York and urban story to that of the
nation and to the subfields of Progressivism, the Depression, the
New Deal, and World War II Contains 16 new images--of La Guardia,
his contemporaries, and city shots--spaced throughout the text
Offers a timeline of principal dates in La Guardia's life keyed to
significant events in the city's, state's, and nation's history
Includes key terms and study questions for each chapter Features a
completely updated bibliographical essay Comprehensive, yet highly
accessible, Fiorello La Guardia: Ethnicity, Reform, and Urban
Development, Second Edition makes ideal supplementary reading for
survey courses in the history of New York or New York City as well
as for general American History courses.
