Customer Reviews

Boston Riots was Excellent!

I read Boston Riots, by Jack Tager, for my Modern Boston history class at UMass, and I enjoyed every moment of it. It might also have helped that Jack Tager was my professor for the course. I highly recommend his book.

Boston Riots is an excellent read

Boston Riots is great -- Professor Tager takes the cake as far as riot reading goes, stealing the thunder away from Jervey Tervalon's book Geography of Rage: Remembering the Los Angeles Riots of 1992.
