Frank Hague served as the mayor of Jersey City for much of the early twentieth century. While some believed him a thief, others viewed him as a modern-day Robin Hood. He could put food on your table or triple your taxes, give you a job or end your career. It was with this same ease and power that he could make you a federal judge, a congressman or even a United States senator. He has been remembered as one of the most corrupt politicians of the century. But in this biography, Leonard Vernon reexamines Hague’s deeds, prompting a new understanding of his life and the memory of politicians of the era.
