Notes on Sourcing

From the mayoral race to the conclusion, this book is based primarily on firsthand reporting and interviews. One can assume scenes and quotes without footnotes are taken from the author’s direct observation and on-the-spot interviews. Lengthier formal interviews by the author are footnoted. Analysis by pundits and columnists, investigations or reports by media outlets and watchdog groups, press releases from the mayor’s office, and other documents are also referenced and footnoted throughout the book. In many cases facts and statistics are documented by multiple sources, but generally one or two sources are listed for the sake of brevity. In some cases scenes that the author observed include footnotes from other sources, so the reader can view videos or seek more information. The sections of the book dealing with Rahm Emanuel’s childhood through his time in the Obama White House are drawn primarily from books and media coverage, as noted in the text and footnotes. A spokesman for Mayor Emanuel declined to speak for this book or to respond to a list of questions and main points.
