The Boston Irish: A Political History
by Thomas H. O'Connor

Irish political power in this traditionally "Brahmin" city was the product of generations of unyielding struggle. O'Connor tells the story with great verve and insight, and helps us understand not only this specific history, but how cultural conflicts take shape and expression.

"They're all here - chowderheads and goo-goos, Honey Fitz and James Michael Himself - all brought to larger-than-leprechaun life by the gifted pen of Professor O'Connor. Now that Irish political power in Boston is a past-tense proposition, he documents it with wit and keen Hibernian insight."
--Martin F. Nolan, Boston Globe
