About this book

This is the story of Chicago's money peerage--the Fields, Armours, Pullmans, Insulls, McCormicks and other families who dominated and enlivened a hundred-year history. Battle for Chicago begins with the city's frontier days and continues through the age of gangsters and finally the Chicago of the 1940's and the newspaper war between Colonel McCormick's Tribune and Marshall Field's Sun Times newspapers.
