Description

“Here is without doubt one of the great stories in American urban history told by an excellent historian. In 1949, Boston used to be ‘a hopeless backwater,’ its skyline stunted, and its municipal government a countrywide disgrace; by 1970 a ‘New Boston’ had been created, with new place of job buildings, new developments, and new economic dynamism. Thomas H. O’Connor, the dean of Boston historians, brings to this tale of transformation wealthy learning, intimate familiarity together with his subject, and a lucid now and again witty pen.” – Jack Beatty, writer of The Rascal King: The Life and Times of James Michael Curley 1874-1958 and Senior Editor, Atlantic Per thirty days
