Handlin, Oscar
Al Smith and his America Oscar Handlin - Boston, Mass. Little, Brown and Company 1958 - x, 207 p. - The Library of American biography .
A stage for life --
The business of government --
Approaches to leadership --
The way up --
Chief executive --
The big prize --
The outsiders --
A world unknown.
Let's look at the record, as Al Smith used to say. Born into the Fourth Ward of the lower East side of New York, he belonged to an Irish immigrant community for whom ward politics was the only ladder leading upward to prestige and success. A short study, not only of Al Smith as a personality, but also of his relation to the broad sweep of events of which he was a part. Al Smith lives in many memories, but until now he has never really come alive in the historians' pages.
