Dewey cracked Tammany Hall, thought to be the United States most powerful and corrupt political machine. Yet as Governor, despite his states vast resources, he could not crack the Upper New York State machine. In this modern-day David vs. Goliath tale, a 24-year-old college professor and engineer leads the challenge to liberate and transform his own upstate community from a 40-year reign of political corruption. In the first half of the 20th century, Michael "Big Mike" Tecumseh Smith founded a political machine which, after aligning with Albanys Democratic powerhouse Dan OConnell, became impossible to crack. After several generations of inept management, Dr. Paul Van Buskirk rejected his own prominent Republican familys views and publicly called for change. The move, led by Van Buskirks ruthless, methodical organization, led to the Citizens Party defeating the Democrats in 1963. In this political memoir, Dr. Van Buskirk details the thrilling events leading up to the Citizens Partys nationally-recognized victory over the political machine. It also recounts how, once in office, the Citizens were inspired by President Johnsons progressive War on Poverty to channel their ingenuity and community spirit into revitalizing their decrepit mill town, steering it to become a federally-designated Model City while also earning Look Magazines highly-competitive All-America City Award. With a sharp wit and a careful eye, Dr. Van Buskirk shares shrewd political observations and offers cautionary advice about the stark differences between running a political campaign and running a city. He also discusses the behind-the-scenes intrigue including an attempt on his life that eventually led to the Citizens Partys demise. Despite occurring half a century ago, the tales of corruption and political scheming, as well as the peoples rise from apathy to action, will resonate in a current era of political upheaval.</p>...3522453Big Mike, Uncle Dan and Me6161https://www.gandhi.com.mx/big-mike-uncle-dan-and-me-9781098307998/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3067441/8e00ecd8-11a8-48c5-ae63-4ae128d6803b.jpg?v=638384835524630000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3066246/8e00ecd8-11a8-48c5-ae63-4ae128d6803b.jpg?v=638384833728330000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20209781098307998_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_<p>As District Attorney, Thomas E.
