The Colonel's Last Campaign
An aging Illinois political legend known as the Colonel ends his long fight in a Chicago hotel as Warren vies for power. Carroll, a hopeful young candidate, and a cadre of old allies navigate backroom scheming, party loyalties, and a decisive outcry from the North and West Side conventions. The dying Colonel's final stand unites as a symbol of loyalty and the price of ambition.
