Dust jacket notes: "Despite efforts to capture him in biographies and magazine articles, Chicago's Mayor Daley has hitherto defied encapsulation. No more. Len O'Connor, the leading Chicago political analyst, has written what will likely be hailed as the finest, and most controversial, political biography of the year. From a political point of view, Daley and Chicago are virtually synonymous. Yet it was not always so, of course, and O'Connor explains, in detail, how Daley came to power, how he eliminated or otherwise brought his opponents under control, how the way was paved for him by allies he later turned out. In short, O'Connor provides the definitive treatment of Daley's early years. No less important, and every bit as interesting, is O'Connor's treatment of the twenty years during which Daley has been mayor. Here are laid out, for the first time, the workings of the Daley machine, the successes and the abject failures of one of the twentieth century's most astute and puzzling political animals. O'Connor, with his unequalled political connections, takes the reader into secret meetings, behind the scenes in council meetings, into the wards and precincts. Here the often obscure but influential names of Chicago's and the nation's political present and past take on flesh, become real: National Committeeman Jacob Avery; President Kennedy, his father Joe Kennedy, and the rest of the clan; President of the County Board, Dan Ryan; Alderman Paddy Bauler; Federal Judges Kerner and Lynch - and on and on. What makes Chicago the city it is is Daley, and O'Connor knows it all and tells it all, down to the indictments and convictions in 1974 of such Daley intimates as aldermen Keane and Wigoda and former press aide Bush. 'Clout' is a word of Chicago origin. As everyone now knows it means 'political influence'...."

There is one major factor that explains business actions that has thus far escaped thorough exploration. That factor is clout, or as it is more broadly understood, power. Those with clout in the business organizations make the decisions and influence what the business does. Yet the origins and uses of clout are hidden. Everyone wants to know more about this inner world as clout is still largely unrecognized in studies of corporate culture. With Clout, the first researched-based book on the topic, Bolland fills this void. He systematically analyses the subject and answers the many questions about this aspect of business life, including exploring what organization clout is, how it has evolved, how it is manifested, how it is used and how it relates to other aspects of business organizations. Readers will be able to apply findings to their own career, and students will gain a tested framework for understanding the importance of this subject.

In postwar America, the path to political power for gays and lesbians led through city hall. By the late 1980s, politicians and elected officials, who had originally sought political advantage from raiding gay bars and carting their patrons off to jail, were pursuing gays and lesbians aggressively as a voting bloc—not least by campaigning in those same bars. Gays had acquired power and influence. They had clout.Tracing the gay movement's trajectory since the 1950s from the closet to the corridors of power, Queer Clout is the first book to weave together activism and electoral politics, shifting the story from the coastal gay meccas to the nation's great inland metropolis. Timothy Stewart-Winter challenges the traditional division between the homophile and gay liberation movements, and stresses gay people's and African Americans' shared focus on police harassment. He highlights the crucial role of black civil rights activists and political leaders in offering white gays and lesbians not only a model for protest but also an opening to join an emerging liberal coalition in city hall. The book draws on diverse oral histories and archival records spanning half a century, including those of undercover vice and police red squad investigators, previously unexamined interviews by midcentury social scientists studying gay life, and newly available papers of activists, politicians, and city agencies.As the first history of gay politics in the post-Stonewall era grounded in archival research, Queer Clout sheds new light on the politics of race, religion, and the AIDS crisis, and it shows how big-city politics paved the way for the gay movement's unprecedented successes under the nation's first African American president.
