One gunshot by a single person could be powerful enough to move a
whole nation. Well known are the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln,
John F. Kennedy, William McKinley, and Martin Luther King Jr., and
their long-lasting consequences. History, however, is littered with
lesser-known gunshots that have had equally echoing outcomes. Some
were small mistakes or misjudgments, others intentional acts that
sparked events documented in our history textbooks. A single bullet
serves as the catalyst for each of the stories in this book. We may
or may not know who fired it but we know each bullet's end point
and the effects it had on America's trajectory: the wars, social
movements, and political and economic paradigm shifts. The names of
those involved may not to many be recognizable but the events their
acts precipitated are etched in American history.
