Chronicles the life of Chicago's first reformist mayor and Illinois' most progressive governor (1913-1917). Portrays a man who made an enduring contribution to justice and humanity, whose humility precluded the messianic or demagogic tendencies of many reformist leaders of his day. Emphasizes, in a larger context, the importance of leadership in the shaping of events and public policy. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
