Ep 5 - Richard J Daley

This series on the definitive history of Irish America continues with the story of Richard J Daley. Daley was the last of the great Irish bosses who ruled Chicago for over twenty years. Hailed by some as the pre-eminent mayor of the 20th century, and reviled by others as a despot and reactionary, Daley played a pivotal role in the 1960 election that saw John F. Kennedy elected to the White House.
