“Bitten By The Tiger is an absorbing, intelligent, and sometimes startling account of a vanished era. The time is long gone but the story offers a unique window into politics. It will appeal to history buffs, and anyone who seeks to understand politics today.”

“Jack O’Donnell’s Bitten By The Tiger is an insightful take on a fascinating, but too-dimly understood, character in New York’s rich political history—and it is an even better read. I would expect no less from a political professional of Jack’s caliber. He was an integral part of the team that vaulted me into the United States Senate and that subsequently built the foundation for my successful first term. It is even more revelatory to see him apply that rare acumen to the written page.”
