'I have struck a city- a real city - and they call it Chicago ... I
urgently desire never to see it again. It is inhabited by savages,'
so wrote Rudyard Kipling on his tour of America in 1899. From these
inauspicious beginnings rose the 'windy city', home to the first
skyscraper, gateway to the Great Lakes, birthplace of modern
advertising and shorthand for stories about violent crime during
America's prohibition and Al Capone's dominance of the ganglands.
This book offers candid views of an extraordinary town, which has
attracted citizens from all over Europe and the rest of the world.
They have made the city what it is today - and written about it
variously with affection, loyalty, disgust and amazement.
