Bashing Chicago Traditions: Harold Washington's Last Campaign
Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1989..
First Edition. 22 X 14½ cm. Near Fine/Near Fine. Forest green simulated leather with gilt titles on spine, ix, 217 pp, 16 ff photo plates, notes, index. Very lightly rubbed, corner of one leaf creased. DJ has 2 small (under 5 mm) tears to top edge, light edge wear; in Brodart archival cover. From the DJ: "This study of Harold Washington's mayoral years is intended as neither a paean of praise nor a critical jeremiad. Instead, [the authors] render an objective analysis by examining both the positives and the negatives in the Washington story, painting a 'warts-and-all' picture that does not mistake the blemishes for the whole picture."
