Mayor Daley : A Relection

Giuliani: America's Mayor is a stunning biography of New York City's 107th mayor through the stories and photos of The Daily News. Giuliani's story is a classic rags-to-riches tale. The grandson of Italian immigrants, Giuliani learned to work hard and dream big from his blue-collar parents. He excelled through high school and college and graduated from NYU Law School magna cum laude. As New York's U.S. Attorney, Giuliani took a hard line on drugs, organized crime, and white-collar crime. His record of 4,152 convictions with only 25 reversals is one of the most impressive in U.S. history. He continued his war on crime as mayor and helped make New York City the safest large city in America, according to the FBI. On his watch, overall crime was reduced 57%. All of these achievements were leading up to his most shining moment. When Giuliani learned that his beloved city was under terrorist attack, he dropped everything and rushed toward Ground Zero. In the days that followed the attacks, Giuliani surveyed the aftermath, advised the President, and inspired our nation. In his blue jeans and FDNY cap, Giuliani led New Yorkers and Americans alike as we struggled to pick up the pieces of our lives and put aside our fear. In times like these, the country is proud to have elected leaders with Giuliani's steel will. He is America's mayor.Crawford, Bob is the author of 'Mayor Daley : A Relection', published 2002 under ISBN 9781582615011 and ISBN 1582615012.
