Description

Detroit: An American Autopsy is a powerful and poignant exploration of a city's downfall. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff returns to his hometown, now a shadow of its former self, in search of answers about the troubled past that has led to its current state.

With characteristic reporting style and righteous indignation, LeDuff sets out to uncover what destroyed Detroit, speaking with union bosses, homeless squatters, powerful businessmen, and ordinary people holding the city together. The result is a story of resilience and determination in the face of overwhelming adversity.

This book offers a hard-hitting look at America's lost prosperity, revealing the complex web of factors that have led to Detroit's decline. A gripping and thought-provoking read, Detroit: An American Autopsy is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of urban decay and the human spirit.
