This is a radically new interpretation of the life and motives of
the infamous Unabomber. Alston Chase's gripping account follows Ted
Kaczynski from an unhappy adolescence in Illinois to Harvard, where
he was subject not only to the despairing intellectual currents of
the Cold War but also to ethically questionable psychological
experiments. Kaczynski fled academia to the edge of the wilderness
in Montana, but Chase shows us that he was never the wild mountain
man the media often assumed him to be. Kaczynski was living in a
book-lined cabin just off a main road when he formulated the view
of the world that he used to justify murder. Through Chase's
compelling narration of the planning and execution of Kaczynski's
crimes, we come to know a thoroughly cold-blooded killer, but one
whose ideas were uncannily close to those of mainstream America.
Originally published in hardcover as "Harvard and the Unabomber."
