A history of New Orleans's early years, 'Building the Devil's Empire' traces the town's development from its origins in 1718 as an imperial experiment in urban planning through its revolt against Spanish rule in 1768. The author traces New Orleans's roguish character to its political independence, smuggling rings and peculiar demographics.
