"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."
Asbury presents an illumination of the gangs of old New York that ultimately gave rise to the modern Mafia and its depiction in films like "The Godfather". Published to coincide with the release of Martin Scorcese's film, "Gangs of New York", starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Photos & illustrations.
