Review:
"Asbury was a realist and mid-Western moralist whose book is, as Gopnik notes, 'a kind of surrealist collage of the city's secret history'" (Robert McCrum Observer)
"Like one of the thugs he writes about, he really is an "extraordinary virtuoso in the art of mayhem"" (Financial Times)
Book Description:
"Like one of the thugs he writes about, he really is an "extraordinary virtuoso in the art of mayhem"" (Financial Times)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Asbury's violent, visceral novel was adapted by Martin Scorsese into the biggest film of 2002. Nominated for ten Oscars, winner of two BAFTAs and one Golden Globe, Gangs of New York had a hit cast- Leonardo Di Caprio, Cameron Diaz, Daniel Day Lewis and Liam Neeson.The Gangs of New York is a tour through a now unrecognisable city of abysmal poverty and habitual violence centred around the infamous slum of Five Points, with its rival Irish and American gangs. Cobbled from legend, memory, police records, the self-aggrandizements of aging crooks, popular journalism, and solid historical research, this is a powerful account of New York City's tumultuos past. Asbury presents the definitive work on this subject, an illumination of the gangs of old New York that ultimately gave rise to the modern Mafia and its depiction in cult films like The Godfather. The classic book about gangs in 19th-century New York, now filmed by Martin Scorsese. The story tells of the city's dire abysmal poverty and violence, researched from stories, memory and police records.
