Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A city paralyzed. Two brothers on opposite sides. One brutal winter that changed everything.New York City, February 1946. The war is over, but a new battle is just beginning. When a ferocious tugboat workers' strike grinds the world's busiest harbor to a halt, incoming shipments of coal, fuel, food, and medical supplies stop cold-and eight million people feel the freeze.At the center of the storm stand two brothers. Jack Logan, a war-weary ex-G.I. searching for peace on the water, wants only to build a life for his pregnant wife and unborn child. Benny Logan, a fiery union organizer, is ready to burn it all down for the cause. Against them looms Henry McFarland-a ruthless tugboat magnate who despises organized labor and believes that any hint of weakness leads only to certain demise.From the gilded suites of the Waldorf-Astoria to the frozen decks of the harbor, from Park Avenue power brokers to immigrant dockworkers and their families, Port City is a sweeping, cinematic saga of greed, ambition, loyalty, and redemption-set against a forgotten chapter of American history that feels startlingly urgent today.Praise for Port City: 'A carefully mounted depiction of a largely forgotten incident in 1940s New York.' -Kirkus Reviews'Vivid and cinematic, and riveting.' -Marie Harris, former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire'A supercharged saga of transformation that will entertain.' -Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review'Exquisite writing, terrific descriptions, and fascinating characters.' -The Book Commentary (5 Stars)Drawing on his four decades as a journalist, Eliot Sefrin weaves meticulous historical research into an unforgettable human drama of class and conscience, power and dignity, and the moral choices that define a city and its people.Perfect for readers of character-driven historical fiction who love: - Immersive, richly researched post-WWII settings- Sweeping family sagas with morally complex characters- Stories of labor, power, and the American working classA gripping tale of the men and women who kept a great city alive-and the winter that nearly brought it to its knees.

But in America, another bloody, divisive battle rages as stepped-up wartime production lures legions of poor blacks from the rural South to defense jobs in the North-to a so-called 'promised land' of opportunity.

As each seeks to escape his harrowing past and rebuild his life in a country struggling to fulfill its own promise, their paths unwittingly cross during a violent racial conflict.
