Reviews
'Ross Wilson's account of the transformation of New York as an immigrant city into an American city adds an original and an important element to the burgeoning literature on the social and cultural consequences of the First World War on American life.' Jay Winter, Yale University, USA 'Paris, London, Berlin - Wilson puts New York City on the map as another major metropolis transformed by World War I; demonstrating with vigor that studying the local offers the truest path to understanding the war's global reach.' Jennifer D. Keene, Chapman University, USA 'Recommended. Most academic levels/libraries.' Choice 'Father Duffy's monument is in the middle of Times Square, but it's unfamiliar to most New Yorkers and few can identify its honoree. That's just one of many reasons to read New York and the "First World War: Shaping an American City."' The New York Times
