Interesting biography;recommended,

This review is from: Al Smith: Hero of the Cities; A Political Portrait Drawing on the Papers of Frances Perkins (Hardcover)
While this book can be criticized for simplistic portrayals of the likes of William Jennings Bryan and other characters, its view of Smith is a very good and objective one. His growing up on the streets of New York, his meteoric rise to the governorship and institution of some public assistance programs, his presidential run and his later conservatism are all discussed. Alot of space is given to Frances Perkins, whose unfinished manuscript the book is based on, so the book also serves as a quasi-biography of her life.
