Synopsis:
Published to coincide with the new Martin Scorcese film of the same name, this revealing book explores the gangs of the 19th century and charts their influence on the underworld in the 20th century. Original.
Review: "A universal history of infamy, the history of gangs in New York...contains all the confusion and cruelty of the barbarian cosmologies." "Still the most detailed, reliable, and readable account of the nether side of Chicago's first century, deserves reading and rereading....A remarkably lively and informative introduction to a slice of the story of one of the world's truly fascinating places" "The tale is one of blood, excitement and debauchery." "The Gangs of New York is one of the essential works of the city, as deserving of a permanent place on the shelf as Stephen Crane's Maggie, Walt Whitman's chapters on horse cars and theatres in Specimen Days, F. Scott Fitzgerald's "My Lost City, " Chester Himes's Blind Man with a Pistol, and Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets."
