    Thomas E. Dewey, et al. is a two-part study. The first part deals with Deweys career through 1941 as a lawyer in civil practice, assistant U.S. Attorney, energetic Young Republican and party worker, and district attorney. The second part addresses his vigorous but futile effort to destroy the Albany Democratic political machine of Daniel OConnell during his first term as Governor of New York. As a preamble, the pre-Albany segment treats of 19th century New York State politically significant figures: the early Tammany Hall leaders, Rev. Charles Parkhurst, Thurlow Weed, Roscoe Conklin, and Thomas Platt. Intertwined with the relation of Deweys pre-Albany activity are the formidable Tammany Hall leader, Charles Francis Murphy; Samuel Koenig, the long-time leader of Manhattans long-time unsuccessful Republican Party; FDR; New York City Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia; the hapless Democratic district attorney, William Copeland Dodge; and George Z. Medalie, the lawyer-politician mentor of Dewey. The first three Albany chapters feature OConnell, the judge and special prosecutor selected by Dewey for his campaign against OConnell by means of the criminal process, and wiretaps of OConnell that made the front page of the New York Times. The fourth and final chapter deals with Deweys having taken over by gubernatorial force majeure the grand jury investigation of the Republican controlled State Legislature that had been instituted by OConnells District Attorney of Albany County in response to Deweys offensive against OConnell. It relates the sustained harassment of the Legislatures Democratic Assembly Minority Leader.
