About the Author

After Mike Ryan read I'd Do It Again, the autobiography of James Michael Curley in high school, he wasn't sure if Curley was the greatest politician who ever lived or the greatest con artist of all time. But he was hooked.

Since then he has written more than a dozen articles in newspapers and magazines about the controversial Boston "Mayor of the Poor." Ryan has been footnoted in several books and has lectured for many years about the Purple Shamrock.

Ryan graduated from Boston State College with a degree in history and minors in secondary education and in English. He later earned a master's degree in journalism from Boston University.

He has worked as a caddy, supermarket bundle boy, trash collector, taxi driver, cemetery worker, pants salesman, maintenance man, political campaign worker, tutor, teacher, reporter, and government communicator. A Red Sox fan ever since his father took him to Fenway Park in 1960, Ryan lives with his family west of the Pesky Pole.
