About this product

Product Information

1977 New York saw the fight between Yankee Reggie Jackson and manager Billy Martin, and the battle between Mario Cuomo and Ed Koch for the citys mayorship. Buried beneath these parallel conflicts was the subtext of race, which marked a year of upheaval--but also one of hope.

Reviews
"Ambitiously conceived, marvelously told . . . Mahler weaves several stories into one grand narrative of the city's death and rebirth. . . . It all comes back, in living color . . . a tour de force."--The New York Times "Entertaining and illuminating . . . It should not be surprising then that Mahler . . . believed a layered account of a single year in the life of the city, 1977, could sustain a book--nor should it be surprising that he was right. . . . A nuanced portrait of this wild year."--The New York Times Book Review(front cover) "A rich canvas . . . an excellent new book."--Sports Illustrated "Compulsively readable . . . Mahler's innocently emblematic figures careen vividly through their historical moment."--The Wall Street Journal, "Ambitiously conceived, marvelously told . . .
