A reformer who was always colourful, provocative, and controversial, Dan Walker became a political maverick, taking on Mayor Richard J. Daley's Chicago machine and the powerful incumbent Richard Ogilvie to become the governor of Illinois. This title tells the dramatic story of Walker's rise from dirtpoor beginnings to the pinnacle of power in Illinois and his conviction on charges of bank fraud that landed him in federal prison.
