Evening Book Discussion Group: 'Dark Tide' by Stephen Puleo

All are welcome to join in a lively discussion of Stephen Puleo's Dark Tide: the Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919.Read the book then come and share your thoughts and opinions.

In January of 1919, a fifty-foot tank filled with molasses exploded sending millions of gallons of viscous goo through Boston's North End killing twenty-one people. Were Italian anarchists to blame or was it neglegence by the tank's owner?

Burlington native Stephen Puleo's gripping narrative tells of a wartime economy, ethnic fears, and terrorism on US soil, all of which will seem familiar to modern readers!
