U.S. Attorney Rudy Guiliani is indicting mafia dons. Ivan Boesky is convicted of insider trading. Spike Lee releases his first feature film. The headlines scream of the Preppy Murder, the AIDS crisis, the crack epidemic and soon, Black Monday. Over the next four years the city will be transformed as the deep divisions lying beneath the soaring skyscrapers and a thriving Wall Street become chasms. Jonathan Mahler's sweeping chronicle of the late 1980s is a wonderfully exuberant, kaleidoscopic, and deeply immersive portrait of one of the world's greatest cities and its larger-than-life characters, at a time of historic upheaval and seismic change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Gods of New York : The Tumultuous Eighties, from Donald Trump to the Tompkins Square Riots","offer_id":46284396921029,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-1-80495-514-7.jpg?v=1779921697","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/gods-of-new-york-the-tumultuous-eighties-from-donald-trump-to-the-tompkins-square-riots-1","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
