Non-Fiction Biography
Michael Bloomberg is not only New York City’s 108th mayor;
he is a business genius and self-made billionaire. He has
run the toughest city in America with an independence and
show of ego that first brought him great success—and
eventually threatened it. Yet while Bloomberg is
internationally known and admired, few people know the man
behind the carefully crafted public persona. In Mike
Bloomberg, Joyce Purnick explores Mr. Bloomberg’s life
from his childhood in the suburbs of Boston, to his rise on
Wall Street and the creation of Bloomberg L.P., to his
mayoral record and controversial gamble on a third term.
Drawing on her deep knowledge of New York City politics, and
interviews with Bloomberg’s friends, family, colleagues, and
the mayor himself, she creates a textured portrait of one of
the more complex men of our era.
