    One of the best historical narratives I've ever read!
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2018*

I was unfamiliar with Mr. Morley's CIA books when I accidently discovered and read this fascinating history. The details which he must have gleaned from contemporary news accounts, private correspondence and legal records add a setting, historical and physical to this really outstanding work.It is thrilling to read his style which isn't that of an armchair scholar but more like a narrative of Capote-like true crime. His dogged research combined with his skillful writing bring life to these little known events.Snowstorm is a departure from Morley's usual topics but it is such an outstanding piece of work that it makes me want to call out for more history revealed and explained from America's past.I will now read some of Mr. Morley's other work but I will long for more attention and appreciation for Snowstorm so that he might turn his hand to similar events of the past.

    we must know the whole story of any country - pleasant or unpleasant - if we're to make this a better world for all children
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2015*

A well written book about a forgotten, and bloody time in the history of America - in Washington, D. C. When most Americans and foreigners hear the term "riots" the images of the 1968 riots, and more recent riots (incited by African Americans) are conjured up; but, America has a long history of riots that were incited by whites against other non-white ethnic groups. For example, the Snow Riots is about the Irish rioting and destroying African American businesses. As citizens of the world, we must know the whole story of any country - pleasant or unpleasant - if we're to make this a better world for all children. PS: this book is a good companion to reading about the Bloody Red Summer (riots) during the early 1900s - Jim Crow Era.

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2012*

The book focuses on Washington in the 1830s and the tensions that developed with the abolition movement.  The book follows Beverly Snow, Francis Scott Key, and the Anna Thornton household, and has some digressions to tie in historic figures of the day.  The stories interlink and provide details of everyday life in the capital city.  For the most part, Morley presents what he knows and when he has to speculate, makes clear what is surmise vs fact.  The storytelling is done well and has prompted me to read more about some of the characters and events that get referenced.I wonder if Morley wrote this book sequentially.  During the first half he used a few too many clever turns of phrase.  No, the advertisement was not committed to hot lead -- that printing process had not been invented.  Some phrases just seemed unnecessarily sesquipedalian.  Sometimes I felt that Morley wanted to make sure that I knew that his Verbal SAT was much better than mine.  I had to look up the following:demimondefaro banktendentioustraducedcofflesaluybriousjacoseclaquesexecratedI thought that the writing got better as the book progressed -- perhaps Morley was caught up in the stories.  I certainly did.
