Great historical information

Henry Maier was the mayor of Milwaukee for 28 years. In this book he gives a very interesting description of the major and minor events during his term. It is very fascinating for anyone who wants to learn more about Milwaukee's recent history. Some of the chapters are about Summerfest, the 1967 riots, Milwaukee's waste management company, a proposed prison in the Menomonee River Valley, the Bucks' arena, and his reelection campaigns. I am giving this book five stars because of its information on almost all of the different topics in Milwaukee's recent history. This is a great book to read because it gives you accurate information on topics that are very important to know about. I also enjoy this book very much because it is interesting to find out different people's points of view. You should order this book if you want to find out information about a modern American city from 1960 until 1988. I hope you buy this book, and if you do, I hope you find the information interesting. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
