Shortly after being elected president of the United States, James
Garfield was shot by Charles Guiteau. But contrary to what is
written in most history books, Garfield didn’t linger and die. He
survived. Alexander Graham Bell raced against time to invent the
world’s first metal detector to locate the bullet in Garfield’s
body so that doctors could safely operate. Despite Bell’s efforts
to save Garfield, however, and as never before fully revealed, the
interventions of Garfield’s friend and doctor, Dr. D. W. Bliss,
brought about the demise of the nation’s twentieth president. But
why would a medical doctor engage in such monstrous behavior? Did
politics, petty jealousy, or failed aspirations spark the fire
inside Bliss that led him down the path of homicide? Rosen proves
how depraved indifference to human life - second-degree murder -
rather than ineptitude led to Garfield’s drawn-out and painful
death. Now, more than one hundred years later, historian and
homicide investigator Fred Rosen reveals through newly accessed
documents and Bell’s own correspondence the long list of
Bliss’s criminal acts and malevolent motives that led to his
murder of the president.
