From the dust jacket liner notes:" This engaging volume thoroughly examines the colorful and rich history of Boston Irish politics from colonial days to the present. It is a captivating story of the ways in which Puritan Boston shaped a distinct ethnic community that in turn influenced the traditions and institutions of the city. According to Thomas O'Connor, Irish political dominance in Boston grew out of generations of bitter and unyielding conflict between Yankee and Irish Catholic immigrants. Unlike the Irish in other American cities, the settlers in Boston encountered a homogenous, long-established Anglo-Saxon population openly hostile toward the Irish and all things Roman Catholic."
