At 5:45 p.m. on September 9, 1919, Boston was effectively without a
police force, leaving the city victim to four days of crime,
looting, and violence. After a 24-hour vote, the Boston Police
Department abandoned their posts, leading to the greatest tragedy
in American policing, the Boston Police Strike of 1919. This is a
compelling account of the historical antecedents that led to the
strike and its complex political and societal ramifications.
Through meticulous research, Oliver explores the perspectives and
motivations of all involved, from the police officers attempting to
unionize to the city’s leaders attempting to retain command and
control of its patrolmen.
