Reddit reviews Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story

Origins of the Urban Crisis, which is on that list, is a must-read.


I haven't read all the ones on that list but I recognize most of the titles and have heard good things; definitely seems like a good place to start.


I'm reading Once in a Great City now and it's fantastic.

It wasn't only the Dems - everyone had a hand in the destruction of Detroit.

Politics and politicians, business, unions, common and uncommon criminal activity of all sorts, lethargy, drugs, etc.


Great links for books on the subject:
