Sumario:For the first time in forty years, the story of one of America's most maligned cities is told in all its grit and glory. With its open-armed embrace of manufacturing, Newark, New Jersey, rode the Industrial Revolution to great prominence and wealth that lasted well into the twentieth century.

Cities across the United States found themselves in similar predicaments, yet Newark stands out as an exceptional case. Its saga.
