David Rosen takes readers on a dazzling tour through Gotham's territories of transgression in the 1920s. Prohibition New York City presents a romp of enterprising impresarios, opportunistic gangsters, and rowdy revelers who fought to keep the festivities going in the face of doomed efforts to deny them the pleasure of their sins. Welcome to the party, and please enjoy responsibly! David Huyssen - professor, history, University of York (UK)
