The Empire State Building, a construction feat that to this day invokes awe and wonder, began as a contest between two industrial moguls who craved the status of constructing the tallest building in the world. The building was the centre of a "race to the skies" competition between Walter Chrysler (of Chrysler Corporation) and Jahn Jakob Raskob (the creator of General Motors), and coincided with the onset of the Great Depression.

This book encompasses the optimism and potential of 1920s New York. It is a beautiful photographic tribute to New Yorkers, and an amazing story of fortitude and ambition.
