Review: A Soldier in the Struggle: Daring to Struggle, Daring to Win, by Helen Shiller by Patrick T. Reardon

“Shiller’s Daring to Struggle, Daring to Win, with its subtitle Five Decades of Resistance in Chicago’s Uptown Community, is an important book about Chicago, its politics and its people.

It chronicles a period in the history of the Chicago City Council when its 50 aldermen—male or female, they were all called aldermen—were the lapdogs of a series of powerful mayors.”
