If you have yet to read this book than you have yet to experience the intense and awe-striking truths of New York City's brutal path. This is an amazing book; every time you turn the page someone is be arrested, stabbed, shot, mugged, killed, plottings are occurring, and rioters are ravaging. Read of the ferocious duels between the New York City Police Department and the riots. Read as some of the most unique sets of characters ever to manifest themselves in the world appear, and come alive right before your very eyes. The book is written in a style of stories. One after another, they continue for pages. Read about a female bartender who butt unruly crowds with her head like a goat. Also read about the North's true opinion on the Civil War, and on Africans.

Read as some of the most unique sets of characters ever to manifest themselves in the world appear, and come alive right before your very eyes. The book is written in a style of stories. One after another, they continue for pages. Read about a female bartender who butt unruly crowds with her head like a goat. Also read about the North's true opinion on the Civil War, and on Africans. This book will bring smiles to your face, and horrors to your dreams. This book can also serve as a guide to the deep city streets of the modern day Greater New York. All the streets are still there, and, thankfully, they have been cleaned of the blood that once flowed through them. Now the only recollection of these stains are found between the pages of Herbert Asbury's The Gangs of New York.

A little unknown corner of US history packed into a powerful read
I became interested in the book in which the movie was written. The author gives me an insight on the human nature and needs that caused these gangs to originate. Many readers may find similarities to the gangs of today. Once I started reading, I found it hard to set down. If you love history in the least, it's intriguing and a great read.

I had seen the movie and didn't realize that it was based on a true story. I haven't finished it yet, but it is a great read.
