It tells a sordid picture of politics that shocked many at the time and contributed to some significant reforms and improvements in government practices.

Steffens had the crime beat and was chummy with Teddy Roosevelt, one of the Police Commissioners during the Reform Movement. He later touches base with Governor Roosevelt and then President Roosevelt. Steffens travelled to a number of cities and investigated the political machines for graft and corruption.
