I've had people ask me numerous times "how did it get this way" when referring to the current state of Detroit and it's decline as the major city it once was. That's always a hell of question to try and answer. As we all know, there's not a singular reason. I'd like to recommend some reading to people when they inquire, and I figured the folks on here would have some insight.

I have "Detroit Divided" by Reynolds Farley, Sheldon Danziger, and Harry J. Holzer and I once had a copy of "Devils Night and Other True Tales Of Detroit" by Zev Chafets but I'm assuming there could be others.

Recommendations?
