Overview:
Three remarkable women have nothing but one another to rely on as they seek to protect their homes and families from the brutality of a city - and a nation - gone mad. At the height of the Civil War, what begins with strong words and a few broken bottles will, over the course of five days, escalate into the worst urban conflagration in American history. Hundreds of thousands of poor Irish immigrants smolder with resentment against a war and a president that have cost them so many of their young men. When word spreads throughout New York's immigrant wards that a military draft is about to be implemented - a draft from which any rich man's son with $300 can buy an exemption - trouble begins to spill into the streets. NOTE: This is a Scratch and Dent version and accordingly MAY NOT have a dust jacket.
