"Through the years my family filled many of his columns, some critical and some supportive. But whether you agreed with him or not, you had to respect his honesty and his love for the city. No one captured Chicago like Mike Royko, and his many fans will savor this book capturing his colorful life."-Mayor Richard M. Daley, "Through the years my family filled many of his columns, some critical and some supportive. But whether you agreed with him or not, you had to respect his honesty and his love for the city.

Synopsis
In this biography of Chicago's great journalist, Moe chronicles Royko's rise to one of the best-known names in America. 120 photos., This illustrated biography is the first account of the colorful life of Chicago newspaper columnist Mike Royko, Pulitzer Prize winner, best-selling author, and legendary journalist who personified Chicago in all its rough-edged charm. Drawing on exclusive photos and interviews with Royko's family and intimates, the book chronicles Royko's rise from a "flat-above-a-tavern" youth--raised above a bar on Chicago's Polish northwest side--to one of the best-known names in American journalism. Readers will get the inside scoop on Royko's epic battles with Mayor Richard J. Daley and other politicians and his hilarious columns featuring "Slats Grobnik." They'll also meet a softer, largely unknown, side of Royko, through the love letters he sent to his wife-to-be from an Air Force base in Washington State. More than 100 photos--many never before available to the public--capture the man and his times. Millions of readers--in 800 newspapers around the world--followed Royko's work and life. In The World of Mike Royko--he lives again., An account of the life of Chicago newspaper columnist Mike Royko, Pulitzer Prize winner, best-selling author and a journalist considered by many to personify Chicago. Drawing on interviews with Royko's family and intimates, the book chronicles his rise to one of the top names in US journalism.
