Eric Adams: A Mayor Under Fire: Crime, Controversy, and the Struggle to Lead New York

John V. Matthews

New York City is a place that demands bold leadership-but what happens when the leader himself becomes the story?
In Eric Adams: A Mayor Under Fire, this gripping political biography unpacks the meteoric rise and tumultuous tenure of Eric Adams, the former NYPD officer who became the 110th Mayor of New York City. From his early days patrolling Brooklyn's streets to his political ascent as a State Senator and Brooklyn Borough President, Adams positioned himself as the tough, no-nonsense leader New York needed. But as crime surged, budget crises deepened, and a federal corruption probe rocked his administration, the man who once promised to restore order found himself at the center of chaos.
Through exclusive insights and sharp analysis, this book explores Adams' triumphs, failures, and the mounting scandals that threatened to end his political career. It delves into his controversial policies, his battle for public trust, and the corruption allegations that forced him into a fight for survival.
Was Eric Adams a pragmatic reformer caught in the crossfire of politics, or just another politician who lost his way? A Mayor Under Fire examines the rise, fall, and uncertain future of one of the most polarizing leaders in New York's history.
Perfect for readers of political biographies, investigative journalism, and anyone fascinated by the inner workings of America's greatest city.
