| NonbiasedIn my opinion Biles offers a non biased historical background on Mayor Daley. It is a good book, very interesting.
Inaccurate, mostly drawn from previous biographiesBiles claims that Daley held back the 1960 vote to deliver for JFK. Len O'Connor, in his better _Clout_, tell us that Daley delivered the vote early to demoralize West Coast Republicans at the risk of being out-defrauded in IL by Du Page County. Other flaws include claiming that former 43rd Ward Alderman William Singer was elected to the 44th in 1969 and use of contemporary ward maps to illustrate returns for old elections with different ward layouts. Unfortunately, better Daley biographies such as _Clout, and Royko's _Boss_ are out-of-print. Read more...
