| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Long before the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 pitted local politicians against each other, the Mayor of Chicago was in a political hot seat on the most pressing issues of the time. With a history of corruption, both proven and implied, Chicago mayors face a fear of political retaliation and even assassination. This book looks at the factors influencing the office of the Mayor of Chicago, the historic issues this position has dealt with and the politicians who have been elected to Chicago's highest political spot.
