Product Description:
This book is a comprehensive analysis of Michael Mann's Miami Vice, with insight into the social, political and cultural mechanics.

A must-have for fans of Miami Vice and readers interested in 1980s popular culture.

Hello, I am writing a review on this book, of which I also, fortunately had the opportunity of reading the e-book version, which is fully illustrated.
I was surprised to read the foregoing review rating the book wit one star, seemed to me that if no stars had been available that person would have given it zero. When I look at the other reviews by L. Chin of several books, which I have read myself, it appears that they are on the surface and not well balanced, as every reviewer should be. However, ...
