Looking Forward to Another Good Book by Ackerman I have been looking forward to a new book by Ken Ackerman since reading Dark Horse, his book about President Garfield. Ackerman's Dark Horse was a wonderfully engaging and educational book, and I am sure the same is true of his latest work on Boss Tweed. Politics can be a dirty profession, and Boss Tweed was a master of his trade. Most readers will be shocked at how brazen he was, and surprised at how timid modern day politics seems when compared to Tweed and his contemporaries. I am confident that Ackerman will give us a good look at one of the more interesting figures in New York history. I've been looking, but haven't seen this a local bookstore yet. I can't wait for it to show up.
