The Bronx is Burning

Book • 2007

Jonathan Mahler

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx is Burning by Jonathan Mahler is a captivating account of New York City in 1977, a year marked by the Yankees' pennant chase, a heated mayoral race, and the Son of Sam serial killings.

The book explores the city's fiscal crisis, cultural shifts, and the infamous blackout that led to widespread looting.

Mahler skillfully intertwines these narratives to portray a city on the brink of change.
