Empires of New York follows titans of the 80's who shared a singular trait: the insatiable need to win at all costs. Drawing on exclusive interviews, these titans broke rules and flaunted their wealth. And oddly, at times America came to love them for it.
Set amid the grit, greed, and glory of 1980s New York, Empires of New York chronicles the meteoric rise of five icons - Ivan Boesky, Donald Trump, Leona Helmsley, Rudy Giuliani and John Gotti - who not only reshaped the city but contributed mightily to the world we live in today.
