Reviews

"Sanders has written a fascinating treatment of the turbulent relationship between the Irish and the Yankees in Boston. He offers a sound analysis of why Boston Catholics did not develop a system of parochial schools during this period ... this book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of education in the United States." -- Evan C. Rothera, History of Education
