Gotham at War: A History of New York City from 1933 to 1945

The new and last book in the Gotham series by Pulitzer Prize-winning historian , Gotham at War: A History of New York City from 1933 to 1945, is an unforgettable portrait of the city during the World War II era. Wallace shows a city wrestling with itself, as home-grown fascists clashed with immigrant workers, skyscrapers rose, and isolationism gave way to collective support of the Allied effort. Upon the release of the third and final Gotham volume, a panel pays tribute to this monumental achievement and the career of Wallace, distinguished professor emeritus of history at John Jay College and the CUNY Graduate Center and founder of the Gotham Center for New York City History at the CUNY Graduate Center. Peter Aigner, director of the Gotham Center, moderates a discussion with Vicky de Grazia, who is Moore Collegiate Professor Emerita of History at Columbia University, and Kim Phillips-Fein, who is Robert Gardiner-Kenneth T. Jackson Professor of History at Columbia University.Presented with the Gotham Center for New York City History.
