Book Description
SLOOTIE'S WARS is an engaging portrait of an old-fashioned New York City street guy, a family man who waged private wars against a wide range of targets, including Jew-haters, loudmouths and troublemakers. Critical acclaim for Slootie's Wars "Slootie's Wars is about fathers and sons, it is about a New York Ira Ellenthal makes me sorry I missed. It is about good guys and bad guys, boxing and horse racing. And a ton of heart. Ellenthal's memories of Slootie will help make memories of your own." Mike Lupica, columnist, New York Daily News. "Raw, vivid, touching and comic, this memoir of a father and his family and a lost New York is compulsively readable." Harold Evans, editor and author. "A knockout read. Powerful and meaningful. Endearing while brutally honest. Ellenthal pulls no punches in this wholly unique memoir of a father, a family, and the compelling circumstances that shaped their lives. Without a doubt, in Slootie's Wars the ultimate winner is the reader." Howard Roughan, author of "The Up And Comer." "Even as an old man, Slootie would have made one helluva Guardian Angel." Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels and WABC-New York talk show host. "A brave, spell-binding memoir, Slootie's Wars re-opens a window on an era of rogues, rascals and, yes, giants, who made a city and an age their own. An unforgettable, swash-buckling tale." Brian Duffy, editor, U.S. News & World Report. "Ira Ellenthal writes of his father with such love that you are warmed for page after page. You cannot help but love Slootie yourself as you follow him through life as it was lived by a man who was a hard-nosed New York working guy the way Patton was a general. You then hold the book in your hands and think how lucky Slootie was to have a son who could write such a tribute." Michael Daly, columnist, New York Daily News.

People, Land, and Politics
Author: Luuk de Ligt
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004171185
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 665
Book Description
Recent research has called into question the orthodox view that the last two centuries of the Roman Republic witnessed a decline of the free rural population. Yet the implications of the alternative reconstructions of Italy's demographic history that have been proposed have never been explored systematically. This volume offers a series of in-depth discussions not only of the republican manpower and census figures but also of the abundant archaeological data. It also explores the growth of cities, especially Rome, and the changing distribution of the population over the Italian landscape. On the rural side it addresses the interplay between demographic, economic, and legal developments and the background to the Gracchan land reforms. Finally it examines the political implications of demographic growth and large-scale migration to the provinces. The volume as a whole demonstrates that demography is the key to many aspects of Italy's economic, social, military, and political history.
