Description:

Summary:
"Rob Ford -- the
most
ridiculed and scandal-ridden
mayor
-- is an international celebrity. When the photo of him smoking crack cocaine circulated, it was the icing on the cake. Ford, not just the favorite buffoon of late-night comics and journalists, was also a known alcoholic and the subject of legal, political, and police investigations -- stripped of his mayoral powers by Toronto'
s
City Council and a subject in a murder investigation. Ford'
s
former chief of staff Mark Towhey, who
tried
to wrangle Ford during his highly public meltdown, comes clean, filling in behind-the-scenes details and providing invaluable context. We go deep into Ford'
s
personal life, including his addictions and his rivalry with his brother; we watch him as he runs Toronto; we overhear hair-raising late-night phone calls and see private, after-hours events. A fascinating portrait of twenty-first-century urban politics, as well as a character study of a larger-than-life personality, a
mayor
so colorful that he remains in office as a councillor and -- despite it all -- may one day become
mayor
again"--Provided by publisher.
