The City Is Up for Grabs: How Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Led and Lost a City in Crisis -- Gregory Royal Pratt, Hardcover
"Gregory Pratt had a rare front-row seat to the passions, problems, peculiarities, hopes, disappointments, shenanigans, and pettiness in the drama and farce that was Lori Lightfoot's uneasy tenure on the fifth floor at City Hall. What he delivers on these pages takes us backstage to give us a powerful, incisive portrait of the woman, the details of her mayoralty, and the many players who shared the stage." --Rick Kogan, Chicago Tribune reporter and author of A Chicago Tavern
