In this masterpiece of narrative history, acclaimed author Howard
Blum evokes the original "crime of the century" and an aftermath
even more dramatic than the crime itself-a seminal episode in
America's history that would spark national debate and draw into
its orbit master sleuth William J. Burns, crusading lawyer Clarence
Darrow, and industry-shaping filmmaker D. W. Griffith.
"Hugely engaging . . . has tremendous verve . . . "American
Lightning "throws valuable new light on an episode that seems, for
us today, particularly pertinent. Terrorism happened here." "-Los
Angeles Times
""A fast-moving, skillfully constructed account . . . Blum's style
is cinematic." "-Chicago Sun-Times
""Compelling . . . a tense detective story." "-Seattle Times
""A thumping-good drumroll of narrative history . . . the
cross-country manhunt reads like a great mystery novel . . . Blum
blows the dust off a page of America's own incendiary past and
brings it to pulsating life." "-Dallas Morning News
