Retired ATF Agent Wayne Miller on "The War Years" in Boston Episode 1

The decades between 1963 and 1983 were the Boston Fire Department's busiest time in their history. Approximately 6,000 multiple alarm fires, along with an equal number of unreported one-alarm fires, swept the city-one fire every 13.6 hours for twenty years. The firefighters who battled those blazes referred to that period as "The War Years". Retired ATF agent, and the iconic lead investigator during Boston's arson spree in the early 1980s (it was the largest arson ring in the history of the country), Wayne Miller discusses that era. https://www.amazon.com/-/he/Wayne-M-M... Oral history is a field of study and a method of gathering, preserving and interpreting the voices and memories of people, communities, and participants in past events. Oral history is both the oldest type of historical inquiry, predating the written word, and one of the most modern, initiated with tape recorders in the 1940s and now using 21st-century digital technologies. When using oral history as a source material, several caveats exist. The person being interviewed may not accurately recall factual information such as names or dates, and they may exaggerate. To avoid this, interviewers can do thorough research prior to the interview and formulate questions for the purpose of clarification. There also exists a pre-conceived notion that oral history is less reliable than written records. Written source materials are different in the execution of information, and that they may have additional sources. Oral sources identify intangibles such as atmosphere, insights into character, and clarifications to points made briefly in print. Oral history can also indicate lifestyle, dialect and terminology, and customs that may no longer be prominent.
