"With
precision, perception, and wry wit, Neil Miller serves up a juicy tale

"Neil
Miller has given us everything we could ask for in an enjoyable
history--a revealing subject, well-drawn characters, and a colorful
portrait of another era, all wrapped in a fast-paced, easy-to-read
story. Banned in Boston is Boston gem." Stephen Puleo, author of A City So Grand
