- Detroit--An American Autopsy
- fullDescription
- In the heart of America, a metropolis is quietly destroying itself. Detroit, once the richest city in the nation, is now its poorest. Once the vanguard of America's machine age-mass production, automobiles, and blue-collar jobs-Detroit is now America's capital for unemployment, illiteracy, foreclosure, and dropouts.With the steel-eyed reportage that has become his trademark and the righteous indignation that only a native son can possess, journalist Charlie LeDuff sets out to uncover what has brought low this once-vibrant city, his city. In doing so, he uncovers the deeply human drama of a city filled with some of the strongest-and strangest-people our country has to offer.

Starred review from September 1, 2013
LeDuff (US Guys: The True and Twisted Mind of the American Man) waxes on what he finds when he returns to his troubled hometown--Detroit--after 20 years away. Passionate and scathing, LeDuff's incisive, pithy brand of reportage--in which he takes any force killing "his" Detroit personally--is powerful and immensely enjoyable. He skewers the inept auto industry that built "America's way of life" only to abandon the city, mercilessly hounds the corrupt city hall and its officials, and explores unjust fatalities. All the while he champions rank-and-file city workers and paints compassionate portraits of longtime residents. With the same critical eye he uses on others, LeDuff entwines his personal life into the narrative, effectively breaking down any "us vs. them" posturing. Eric Martin's narration is exactly right, reflecting all of LeDuff's sincerity, outrage, and despair. VERDICT Though it has a finite shelf life, this masterly snapshot of a city in ruins translates superbly to the spoken word.--Douglas C. Lord, Connecticut State Lib., Middletown
