Association copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, "To Mayor Koch, Cheers! David Kennerly Sept 25, 1979." The recipient, American politician Edward Irving Koch served in the United States House of Representatives from 1969 to 1977 and was mayor of New York City from 1978 to 1989. Koch was a lifelong Democrat who described himself as a "liberal with sanity". The author of an ambitious public housing renewal program in his later years as mayor, he began by cutting spending and taxes and cutting 7,000 employees from the city payroll. As a congressman and after his terms as the second Jewish mayor of New York City, Koch was a fervent supporter of Israel. He crossed party lines to endorse Rudy Giuliani for mayor of New York City in 1993, Al D'Amato for Senate in 1998, Michael Bloomberg for mayor of New York City in 2001, and George W. Bush for president in 2004. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Mary Ann Joulwan. An exceptional association.
