Devil's Night
On the night before Halloween, Detroit explodes in flame. The local citizens call that evening Devil's Night; tourists, sociologists and even some visiting firefighters gather to witness this outpouring of urban frustration when houses, abandoned buildings and unused factories burn to the ground in an orgy of arson. An unprecedented look at what Chafets calls "America's first Third World city"
