"Nightclub City interweaves a history of the nightclub with chapters that reveal its close relationship to major civic trends: moral reform and policing, Prohibition, the fight against public corruption, the Great Depression, and the New Deal. What emerges is a story of a city, and a national culture as a whole, redefining its civic life through its leisure." Book jacket.
