Only Ed Koch could have written Mayor. It is the
liveliest, most gripping, most outspoken and
most authentic book ever written about govern-
ment. As such, it is sure to become a classicm but
it is much more as well. It is the frank, feisty, no-
holds-barred account of what it s like to run the
greatest city in the world, written with the
irrepressible honesty, anecdotal humor and
tough-minded compassion that make the Mayor
mand the city he governs--unique. Here is the
day-by-day inside story of how Koch turned the
City around from the brink of bankruptcy and
brought it back to solvency and health. Mayor!s
an unapologetic celebration of New York City and
the American urban experience--its cultural
diversity, vitality, multiplicity and inexhaustible
potential.
Most political figures write their memoirs
after they leave office, but Ed Koch has (typically)
chosen to write his in the white heat of the
political fray--and produced the frankest and
most revealing book ever written about politics.
It s about his first five years as Mayor, but it takes
the reader far beyond New York to tell us how
government, from the streets to the White
House, actually works.
Ed Koch, as the whole nation knows, is a man
who speaks his mind--whether it s standing up
to the entrenched bureaucracies, dealing with
minorities, speaking out on Israel or negotiating
single-handed with the Congress and the Presi-
dent of the United States. Now, in Mayor, he
pauses in midstream, as one of the most power-
ful and significant political figures in the country,
to tell, with typical uninhibited candor, the story
of his political life to date.
