Description

No political scandal in American history has had a greater impact on America's political consciousness than the rise and fall of the "Tweed Ring" in New York City between 1866 and 1871. In an age ripe with scandal both public and private, the spectacular corruption charged to "Boss" Tweed and his associates - estimates of their extortion range from $20 million to $200 million - became an enduring symbol of the dark side of democratic politics.

Author Biography:

Denis Tilden Lynch was an experienced political observer who, as a reporter, covered the New York state legislature for the Herald Tribune for more than 30 years. Dennis Hale is associate professor of political science at Boston College. He has written widely on American politics and American political history.
