I felt that this book was informative. I also gained a better understanding of Southern American's attitudes after the Civil War.7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Little known historyBy History ProfIf you are interested in post-Civil War racial tension; this is an excellent work. Focusing on the Memphis race riot; Ash characterizes the riot in which white citizens sought out and slayed their black neighbors; as not a problem of the prevailing racism of elite southern whites; but the racist hatred of their poorer Irish neighbors. Perpetuated and driven by an Irish mob; and fueled by rumor and newspaper sensationalism; the Memphis Massacre is a conundrum to study. Ash does an excellent job of presenting all of the sides in a factual and accurate account.
