A wry, noholdsbarred memoir of Nelsons time controlling some of Chicago's most beautiful spots while facing some of its ugliest traditions.In 1987, the city of Chicago hired a former radical college chaplain to clean up rampant corruption on the waterfront. R. J. Nelson thought he was used to the darker side of the lawhe had been followed by federal agents and wiretapped due to his antiwar stances in the sixtiesbut nothing could prepare him for the wretched bog that constituted the world of a Harbor Boss. Dirty Waters is the wry, noholdsbarred memoir of Nelsons time controlling some of the citys most beautiful spots while facing some of its ugliest traditions. Nelson takes us through Chicago's beloved blue spaces and deep into the citys political morass, revealing the different moralities underlining three mayoral administrations and navigating the gritty mechanisms of the citys political machine. Ultimately, Dirty Waters is a tale of morality, of what it takes to be a force for good in the world and what struggles come from trying to stay ethically afloat in a sea of corruption.
