Overview of Boston

I ordered this book after returning from a trip to Boston and found it to be well-suited to what I wanted--a broad overview of Boston's history. This is a book for a traveler or interested reader, not a specialist in American History, and I enjoyed it very much.

A great overview of the complex history of Boston, MA

This is a fantastic little book that I wish were more available (it is kind of a pain to get your hands on). It is well-organized and beautifully written by an historian who knows Boston very well. I would advise this to anyone interested in the history of Boston or to urban historians in general, because of its concise nature. It is an excellent companion to O'Connor's other books about the history of Boston, and particularly its Irish inhabitants. Definitely worth a read.
