  
By Karen Sawislak
1995, Soft cover, 375 pages.
This is a richly detailed account, drawing on memoirs, private correspondences, and other documents, which chronicles years of widespread, sometimes bitter, social and political conflict in the Fire's wake, from fights over soup kitchens to cries against profiteering and marches on City Hall by workers burned out of their homes. This fine-grained portrait of a city reinventing itself presents an innovative integration of the social and political history of Chicago.
