Description

This text explores the long-lasting political relationship between Harry S. Truman and Thomas J. Pendergast, the Boss of Kansas City. It examines how Pendergast's corruption in both personal and public affairs (he was jailed for tax evasion in 1939) almost cost an astonished Truman his Senate seat.
