Burn Boston Burn The Largest Arson Case in the History of the Country
In the early 1980s, Boston was set ablaze with nightly multiple-alarm fires. Over a two-year period, 264 buildings were torched, intentionally set on fire, resulting in millions of dollars in damages and hundreds of injuries. This is the astounding true story of the deep conspiracy of 9 men, including 3 Boston cops and a Boston firefighter, determined to wreak havoc on the city and of the relentless investigators who uncovered what was termed "the largest arson case in the history of the country".Told by the ATF Special Agent who lived this investigation for three years, Wayne Miller, Burn Boston Burn is a tale of domestic terrorism and internal corruption. The book details the series of crimes that shook the Boston area, by interweaving the activities of the arsonists with those of the investigators, the firefighters and the citizens of the area.
