The Vice Bondage of a Great City; or, the Wickedest City in the World

"The Vice Bondage of a Great City; or, the Wickedest City in the World" by Robert O. Harland, is a hard-hitting look at Chicago's dark underbelly in the early 1900s, where corruption and vice choked the city. It's a story of a "Vice Trust," a powerful crime group making money off the suffering of others through things like prostitution and gambling. The author exposes how this Trust works, showing how it takes advantage of vulnerable people with the police and politicians often looking the other way. The author doesn't just point fingers; he wants to wake people up, especially parents, to the dangers faced by young people lured to the city and calls for everyone to join the fight against these evils to protect the next generation.
