Description

In the third bloody year of Civil War, the North imposes a military draft that sparks the most destructive riot in American history. Peter Quinn’s characters are drawn from across New York City’s classes and races. Their fates coalesce in the cataclysm of the Draft Riots."Historical fiction as well made and whole as this is not common . . . Convincing and intriguing . . . Hardly a page of this book is without some revelation."- The New York Times Book Review
