His most recent book is “Yamasaki in Detroit: A Search for Serenity,” a biography of architect Minoru Yamasaki. Gallagher is a native of New York City and joined the Detroit Free Press in 1987 to cover urban and economic redevelopment efforts. In 2017, he was inducted into the Michigan Journalism Hall of Fame.
