Description
A riveting account of one night in New York City, when darkness brought both chaos and heroism. On July 13, 1977, the city was plunged into blackout, sparking a mix of excitement, adventure, and fear as people responded to the crisis. As Goodman reconstructs that fateful night, he reveals the complexities of human behavior under pressure, moving beyond simple explanations for the actions of individuals caught up in the chaos. Through a detailed and immersive narrative, he sheds light on the attitudes, ideas, and experiences that were lost in easy generalizations about such events. This book offers a unique perspective on 1970s New York, challenging conventional thinking about how people respond to crisis situations.
