A wry, no-holds-barred memoir of Nelsonâs time controlling some of Chicago's most beautiful spots while facing some of its ugliest traditions. In 1987, the city of Chicago hired a former radical college chaplain to clean up rampant corruption on the waterfront. R. J. Nelson thought he was used to the darker side of the lawâhe had been followed by federal agents and wiretapped due to his antiwar stances in the sixtiesâbut nothing could prepare him for the wretched bog that constituted the world of a Harbor Boss. Dirty Waters is the wry, no-holds-barred memoir of Nelsonâs time controlling some of the cityâs most beautiful spots while facing some of its ugliest traditions. Nelson takes us through Chicago's beloved âblue spacesâ and deep into the cityâs political morass, revealing the different moralities underlining three mayoral administrations and navigating the gritty mechanisms of the cityâs political machine. Ultimately, Dirty Waters is a tale of morality, of what it takes to be a force for good in the world and what struggles come from trying to stay ethically afloat in a sea of corruption.
