This work tells the story of how cultural politics and economic greed transformed the New York's physical and social environment with an ongoing multibillion-dollar redevelopment programme, changing the district from a symbol of urban decay to one of urban renaissance.

Drawing from a wide range of sources, including official documents, first-person accounts, histories and personal letters, in addition to folklore and fiction, this book examines the common structure and themes of American prisoner-of-war narratives.
