The Prince of the City

Siegel writes the first comprehensive account of the successful, 'America's Mayor', Rudi Giuliani: a colourful, contradictory, and immoderate centrist who prepared his city to come together after the tragedy of 9/11. Acting as a character study, a history of New York over the last forty years, and an insight into how cities function.

Fred Siegel is a professor of history at The Cooper Union for Science and Art in New York City and a senior fellow at the Progressive Policy Institute in Washington.
