Killing Detroit: The City That Refused To Die

Dealing CIA Cocaine... And A City Dies!

Killing Detroit pulls the sheets off a well-planned government scheme that left broken neighborhoods, fractured families, and dead bodies in its wake. Over fifty years later, Detroit is still reeling from this scheme of murder and financial destruction. For the first time since before the Civil War, Detroit is no longer among the nation's 20 most populous cities. Detroit's population was 677,116 last summer, a loss of 3,107 residents from the previous year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That loss was enough to drop the city to the 21st largest city in the nation, surpassed by Seattle, Denver, and, of all places, El Paso, Texas. At one time, Detroit was the richest and fourth largest city in America, behind New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Killing Detroit exposes the critical events behind the rapid decline of this once-great city.
