En savoir plus sur le livre

Set in the tumultuous decades before the Civil War, the narrative explores the rise of the Bowery Boys, a gang formed amidst the dire living conditions of New York City's lower east side. Under the leadership of Mike Walsh, they became notorious for their street fighting and politicized violence, reflecting the era's poverty and despair. The book delves into the gang's influence on urban politics and the fears they instilled in New Yorkers, who viewed them as potential harbingers of a European-style revolution during the 1840s and 1850s.
