Description:
Lyle W. Dorsett outlines the rise, peak, and fall of the Pendergrast Machine in Kansas City during the 1920's and 30's. The book was written to explain how the machine gained its power, and how Jim Pendergrast built the foundation of the machine into one that Tom Pendergrast could strengthen enough to dominate Missouri politics.
