Reviews for A Phoenix in the Ashes: The Rise and Fall of the Koch Coalition in New York City Politics
"[A] first-rate study of the ascendancy and collapse of the Koch coalition... Mollenkopf traces the arabesque of race, class, ethnicity, labor, religion, and policy payoffs ... that defined politics in what he terms a 'post-industrial' city... Essential for understanding today's bitter Big Apple social politics."
