Book Synopsis The Man Who Emptied Death Row by : James L. Merriner
Book excerpt: "This biography traces Ryan's family history and the Illinois political climate that influenced his development as a politician. Merriner goes beyond Ryan's life and career to explore the politics of crime, highlighting the successes and failures of the criminal justice system and suggesting how both white-collar fraud and violent crime shape politics. A fascinating story that reveals much about the way Illinois politics works, The Man Who Emptied Death Row will help determine how history will judge Illinois governor George Ryan."--Jacket.
