History: New York: Portrait Of A City By Reuel Golden, 1850-2009

• Chapter Three (1946-1965) sees New York become the world's first truly international city, with the construction of the U.N. headquarters.
• In Chapter Four, the Big Apple loses its shine (1966-1987) during a period of economic decline, social protest and mean streets.
• Chapter Five (1988-2009) sees New York rise again from the lean times of the 1970s and early 80s, only to be devastated by the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which forever alter the city's landscape—and its sense of self.
