Overview

"""Colourful"" is not sufficient to describe Buddy Cianci. He is seen by many as a brilliantly successful politician and by others as a rogue. Full of surprising stories and outrageous anecdotes, this is a one-of-a-kind memoir by a master of the political game. Take a bit of ""La Guardia"", a dose of Daley, and a little of Boston's Mayor Curley and you have Buddy - master politician, master story teller."

Politics and Pasta is a compulsively readable - if not entirely candid - insider's account of city politics by one of the most colourful and longest-serving mayors in memory. And it's written by, as Cianci puts it, perhaps the only person who has ever been inside the White House, Windsor Castle and the federal penitentiary at Fort Dix in New Jersey.
