Description
"McDonald was warmly welcomed into the White House by two sitting presidents who recognized him for what he was: the reigning 'boss' of Chicago. In a colorful and often riotous life, McDonald seemed to control everything around him--everything, that is, except events in his personal life. His first wife, the fiery Mary Noonan McDonald, ran off with a Catholic priest. The second, Dora Feldman, twenty-five years his junior, murdered her teenaged lover in a sensational 1907 scandal that broke Mike's heart and drove him to an early grave." -- From the publisher.
