As the book concludes the reader can see how the two powerful men work together to improve the city. Together, they financed projects such as the FDR drive, La Guardia airport, hospitals, housing and I was even surprised that they had a contribution to our own Brooklyn College. Greatly, the New Deal forced the city into a “new economic system.” Soon, Tammany Hall perished and La Guardia made his way into politics and eventually become the first reform mayor to win reelection in New York City. Even though many times La Guardia was glorified, Roosevelt was the better politician. While Roosevelt put in as much effort as he could La Guardia was planning on remodeling the White House. This makes one question the validity of La Guardia’s campaign and wonder if the city made the right choice with the reelection. However, the real test of his power was during the third and fourth term when World War II broke out. Immediately, citizens showed their nationalism with a willingness to fight for the United States if necessary. The Foreign Policy became the central focus of politics at the time. During this war Italian Americans conflicted in their feelings toward Mussolini and fascism in Italy. They felt neglected and belived the mayor was ethically disloyal. In this way, La Guardia was slowly voted out of office. Therefore, the wartime period proved to be too much for La Guardia to handle. Federal aid for urban projects diminished and the city was plagued by German u-boats.
