In 2012, Cathleen O’Connell, the producer and director of the PBS documentary, telephoned one of the authors of this piece (Michael Socolow) to discuss the recent scholarship questioning the scale of the panic.

But the names of the legendary Five Points gangs—the Bowery Boys ( see photo ), the Dead Rabbits, the Plug Uglies, the Short Tails, the Slaughter Houses, the Swamp Angels—may be among the few things that Asbury, who did little original research, got right, according to historians.

There is action, romance, humor and adventure. I come from under the hill, and under the hills and over the hills my paths led. If the story is broken, you know it now, rather than after investing 500 hours in a rambling first draft. While giving the more highly effective Union command and control its just due, Hess credits Union terrain advantages (especially the ravines that effectively divided the battlefield) and superior fire discipline within the Army of the Tennessee for being instrumental to victory.

The stories of the people and events from that time are so engrossing you forget you are reading non-fiction. And so I figured, well, this really was the most minor sort of detail in World War II. A young boy escapes his gadget-obsessed parents to join a band of time-traveling dwarves. There is action, romance, humor and adventure. Her response: “Historical accuracy is very important to me, both as a reader and a writer. Was this just more proof that Browncoats can stuff any ballot box?

DVD 933 Destroy all Planets (Gamera tai uchu kaijû Bairasu) (Japan, 1968) Directed by Noriaki Yuasa. Naggar points to Sansom’s success as a cautionary tale: The tried-and-true forms are tried and true for a reason. “In 30 years, I’ve seen the cycles where people are saying the traditional mystery is on the way out,” she says. “The people who love mysteries don’t go away. The best portion of the book, is still the first few pages, when the Roughnecks raid the "Skinnys" and use micro-atomic bombs then are recovered in mid-air.

Outside the sf magazines the post-World War Two period produced a remarkable series of very varied dystopian novels – remarkable not only for their diversity and characteristic intensity but also for a tendency to black comedy. THE FIRST WORLD WAR by John Keegan – “With The First World War, John Keegan, one of our most eminent military historians, fulfills a lifelong ambition to write the definitive account of the Great War for our generation.” THE FACE OF BATTLE by John Keegan – “The Face of Battle is military history from the battlefield: a look at the direct experience of individuals at ‘the point of maximum danger’.
