Book Review of The Gangs of New York: An Informal History of the Underworld

The Gangs of New York: An Informal History of the Underworld
reviewed on


Not a bad read especially if this city fascinates you like it does me. From a general history standpoint I found the chapters on the Civil War draft riots especially informative and enlightening. Overall for me it could have been done just as well in 100 fewer pages.
