LaGuardia in CongressFiorello LaGuardia is known best as the tempestuous mayor of New York City in the days when Franklin Delano Roosevelt sat in the White House. There had been, however, an earlier time, which matched his mayoralty years in sheer drama and perhaps surpassed them in lasting achievement LaGuardia's years in Congress.

Fiorello LaGuardia is known best as the tempestuous mayor of New York City in the days when Franklin Delano Roosevelt sat in the White House. There had been, however, an earlier time, which matched his mayoralty years in sheer drama and perhaps surpassed them in lasting achievement--LaGuardia's years in Congress. He served in the House of Representative almost continuously from 1917 to 1933, representing two ethnically diverse congressional districts: the Fourteenth (Greenwich Village), from 1917 to 1919, and the Twentieth (East Harlem), from 1923 to 1933.

Although barred from important committee posts because of his political independence and thus denied from playing a direct role in lawmaking, he was a tireless and vocal champion of Progressive causes, from allowing more immigration and removing U.S. troops from Nicaragua to speaking up for the rights and livelihoods of striking miners, impoverished farmers, oppressed minorities, and struggling families. A goad to the era's plutocrats and their enablers in government, LaGuardia fought for progressive income taxes, greater government oversight of Wall Street, and national employment insurance for workers idled by the Great Depression.

In this book, first published by Cornell University Press in 1959, Howard Zinn establishes LaGuardia's tenure in Congress as a vital link between the Progressive and New Deal eras, offering a lively and informative account of his many legislative battles, his political philosophy, and the distinctly urban (specifically, New York City) sensibilities he brought to the Progressive movement.

Good screen protector but
Item Package Quantity: 2, Item Package Quantity: 2
I had to buy two of these screen protectors you have to really make sure there’s no specs of anything on the screen before applying or it will not stick anymore but maybe that’s my fault haha, the second time around it was put on correctly and I haven’t had any problems so far

Good but missing something
Item Package Quantity: 2, Item Package Quantity: 2
It came perfect no damage it just doesn’t include the “bubble sealer card” which isn’t a big deal I have a regular card I can use but just wanted to mention also it comes with 2 front screen protectors not a front and back which is confusing to me a little bit but I’m pretty sure it says that in the info so my own fault for not reading.
