A Detroit Story

David Maraniss

Discover the heights and ruin of 1960s Detroit in a tour de force from David Maraniss. Meet the city's most visionary leaders, from Ford's grandson to Martin Luther King.

In Once in a Great City, Maraniss captures the city at the top of its game and the era that defined America's path to prosperity.
