Description
"Malcom Johnson's stories that shook the nation are collected here for the first time since their original publication, with additional selections from Budd Schulberg. Introduced by Schulberg, and with a foreword by Johnson's Pulitzer Prize-winning son, the esteemed Washington journalist Haynes Johnson, On the Waterfront is a snapshot of a world that no longer exists, of a time when shipping ruled the world, of a city that dominated that trade and made New York one of the great centers of civilization in modern history. These original articles bring you face-to-face with the complexities of a place where money was more important than life itself, and corruption and violence were the currency of the day."--BOOK JACKET.
