Review
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A lively social and political history of Civil War BostonBy A CustomerIn his most recent book; Civil War Boston; Boston College History Professor Thomas O'Connor illuminates how America's most devastating war impacted and changed the lives of Boston's citizens and its political climate. Although O'Connor's book is rife with detail and scholarship; he never losses sight of the great story he is telling. The author achieves a perfect balance of detailing the war on a national scale while reflecting on its impact in Boston. If you are tired of dry narratives of the Civil War; read this book and learn about the personal side and the dramatic change wrought by the divisive conflict.
