This was a tome (700 pgs), but very well written and a story line that keeps you captivated. Interspersed with fascinating and little known facts of American history (at least little known to me!): 1918 influenza pandemic, 1919 great molasses flood, Babe Ruth, Boston police strike and the rise of the NAACP. Reading about the early days of the Labor movement and following the struggles of the Boston PD in their attempts to get fair wages and working conditions reminded me of why I do what I do in helping to represent working people and Unions and how important it is.
