In this vividly written text, Iver Bernstein tells the compelling story of the New York City draft riots. He details how what began as a demonstration against the first federal draft soon expanded into a sweeping assault against the local institutions and personnel of Abraham Lincoln's Republican Party as well as a grotesque race riot. He identifies participants, dynamics, causes and consequences, and demonstrates that the 'winners' and 'losers' of the July 1863 crisis were anything but clear, even after five regiments rushed north from Gettysburg ro restore order.
