- Once in a Great City: A Detroit Story is a 2015 non-fiction book discussing the history of the U.S. city of Detroit, Michigan, that was published by Simon & Schuster, focusing on the period between late 1962 to early 1964. Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Maraniss, a Detroit native, it delves into socio-political topics such as the Civil Rights Movement, labor union organization, and the rise of the soul music label Motown. Significant emphasis is also placed on biographical details of prominent Midwestern figures; for example, the author describes Henry Ford II "impeccably dressed yet with a touch of the peasant, with his manicured nails and beer gut and carefree proclivities, his frat-boy party demeanor and head full of secrets." Favorable reviews appeared in publications such as The Seattle Times and the Star Tribune. (en)
