Here’s what people are saying about Winning & Losing It:
"A crowd near Northeastern, made up mostly of students, also flipped over six cars, set bonfires, threw beer bottles, and had to be subdued by firefighters who sprayed them with hoses..."I just saw...madness, hysteria," said Carla Reidy, a Northeastern student...Minutes after midnight, police said, 24-year old Stanley Filoma of Boston raced down the street in his Toyota Land Cruiser amid a crush of some 1,500 revelers...hitting four people..."
-- The Boston Globe
"Those who believe student riots went out of fashion after the 1960s had better think again...protests against the banning of alcohol, misguided exuberance influenced by binge drinking or just plain boredoom, are chillingly chronicled in Thomas M. Reidy's must-read book, Winning, and Losing It! Clearly a zero-tolerance deterrent is a long way from becoming reality--and why Reidy's book should become required reading for students and campus administrators alike."
-- Ellen Tanner Marsh, The New York Times, bestselling author
"The true story of the Boston Super Bowl riot is riveting, with lessons for everyone to learn."
-- Jonathan Sprinkles, National College Speaker of the Year
