Harold Schechter, Amazon Charts bestselling author of Hell's
Princess, unearths a nearly forgotten true crime of obsession and
revenge, and one of the first-and worst-mass murders in American
history. In 1927, while the majority of the township of Bath,
Michigan, was celebrating a new primary school-one of the most
modern in the Midwest-Andrew P. Kehoe had other plans. The local
farmer and school board treasurer was educated, respected, and an
accommodating neighbor and friend. But behind his ordinary demeanor
was a narcissistic sadist seething with rage, resentment, and
paranoia. On May 18 he detonated a set of rigged explosives with
the sole purpose of destroying the school and everyone in it.
Thirty-eight children and six adults were murdered that morning,
culminating in the deadliest school massacre in US history. Maniac
is Harold Schechter's gripping, definitive, exhaustively researched
chronicle of a town forced to comprehend unprecedented carnage and
the triggering of a "human time bomb" whose act of apocalyptic
violence would foreshadow the terrors of the current age.
