In 1974, he ran for Governor of New York on the ticket of the Free Libertarian Party. His campaign included a publicity stunt where a blonde woman wearing a bodystocking rode a horse named "Taxpayer" through Central Park, alluding to the legend of Lady Godiva.[1]
He worked as an investment manager and authored more than thirty books, including It Usually Begins With Ayn Rand (Template:ISBN). His other books included the first biography of Donald Trump,[1] as well as biographies of Rupert Murdoch, Alan Greenspan, and the Hunts of Texas.[2] Tuccille also wrote several novels and a memoir entitled Heretic: Confessions of an ex-Catholic Rebel (Template:ASIN). He also wrote a history of black soldiers in the Spanish–American War called The Roughest Riders which is highly critical of Theodore Roosevelt.[3]
Tuccille was born in the Bronx, New York, on May 30, 1937.[4] He died at his home in Severna Park, Maryland, on February 16, 2017, due to complications from multiple myeloma.[1]
