About this product
Product Information
When President William McKinley was murdered at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, on September 6, 1901, Americans were bereaved and frightened. Rumor ran rampant: A wild-eyed foreign anarchist with an unpronounceable name had killed the commander-in-chief. Eric Rauchway's brilliant "Murdering McKinley" restages Leon Czolgosz's hastily conducted trial and then traverses America with Dr. Vernon Briggs, a Boston alienist who sets out to discover why Czolgosz rose up to kill his president.

Reviews
"A gripping detective story,Murdering McKinleypacks an astonishing amount of history -- about law, medicine, technology, race, immigration, and political reform -- into its tale of why Leon Czolgosz, professed anarchist and suspected lunatic, murdered his president. One could not ask for a more riveting narrative or a better introduction to the inter-connected challenges that faced America at the opening of the twentieth century." --Rosalind Rosenberg, Professor of History, Barnard College "Eric Rauchway is that rare historian who is also a first-rate storyteller.Murdering McKinleyis almost as impressive a literary feat as it is a scholarly one; a fascinating window on a turbulent time in our untold history and a damn good read to boot." --Eric Alterman, author ofWhat Liberal Media? The Truth About Bias and the News "With a "You Are There" style that makes us practically smell people we usually see in static photos and flickering silent film clips,Murdering McKinleyplaces an anonymous oddball assassinating a nonentity of a President at the center of the cataclysmic events roiling America at turn-of-century. Erudition harnessed to an addictive tale told in butter-smooth prose -- history writing at its best." --John H. McWhorter, author ofLosing the Race: Self-Sabotage in Black America "Eric Rauchway's fascinating book deftly weaves together social, cultural and political history. This is truly a pathbreaking work, and a wonderful read for all of us who are intrigued by the emergence of the radically new progressive era." --Elizabeth Sanders, Cornell University "Eric Rauchway'sMurdering McKinleyingeniously weaves together the microhistory of a murder and a boldly innovative account of the origins of the Progressive era. Once a mere footnote in American history, the assassination of McKinley in 1901 emerges as an event as pregnant with historical significance as the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy. What is so marvellous about this book is that it is not only first-class history. It is also an enthralling whodunnit." --Niall Ferguson, author ofThe Cash Nexus: Money and Power in the Modern World, 1700-2000

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.

This item came in exactly as pictured, and the seller posted immediately and was very gracious. I didn't ask for a partial refund. Why would I? I bought what I was expecting and received what I paid for the item. Not sure if I have bought from this seller before, but they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My future transactions with them will no doubt be perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
