"Michael A. Gordon goes beyond the standard interpretation of the Orange riots and draws important distinctions between the two riots, tracing an intricate story of class, ethnicity, and politics in New York's Gilded Age.... Underpinning Gordon's book is an unusual sensitivity concerning the study of popular disorder."
--Journal of American History"Michael A. Gordon has written a carefully researched and powerful account of Irish sectarian violence in New York City.... There is a great deal to be learned from Gordon's approach, and not just about the Orange riots in New York City. His description of the riots as battles between two opposing world views should be tested on other instances of ethnic and religious violence, both in Northern Ireland and the United States.... This is a fine book, fair and judicious in interpretation and sophisticated in analysis. His careful and original treatment of these two days of violence lights up some dark corners of American ethnic, working-class, and urban history."
--American Historical Review"This well-written and well-documented study reveals the explosive mixture of ethnicity and class in nineteenth-century American cities."
