Ladies and Gentleman: The Bronx is Burning by Jonathan Mahler

This book is a mixture of my two favorite things: Sports and Politics. It takes place in the Bronx in the late 1970's when everything was happening in the Big Apple. There is the larger than life persona of Yank's slugger Reggie Jackson, the devasting Son of Sam murders, the rolling blackouts in the city, as well as the contentious mayor's race. A thrilling and entertaing ride through NYC. --Nick H., alumnus
