No family in the history of American politics has dominated a city like the Daleys of Chicago. For more that 40 years, Mayors Richard J. Daley, and his son Richard M., ruled Chicago – from when Chicago Style politics dominated the city’s political landscape to a more modern, less autocratic political machine.
The Chicago Sun-Times was there to report every event of the Daley dynasty and is publishing a beautiful, coffee-table-style book to commemorate this period in the history of our city. It offers a unique portrait of Chicago and the Daleys – through hundreds of photos, articles, essays, front pages and a comprehensive timeline. Many of these images are extremely rare, culled through extensive research of the newspaper’s archives.
