    This is the way I like to read history
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2014*

This is a very readable, if fairly shallow, account of the assassination of President McKinley and what America was like at that time. I say shallow, but I don't mean it in a pejorative way -- it's just that the book is only 250 pages long, including the index and he covers a lot of ground. He has to describe what living conditions were like for immigrants all over the country, what the anarchist movement was about, local politics in Chicago and national politics, McKinley's history and how he came to be President, and what Leon Czolgosz's life was like and a possible reason for his action. For some reason, although I heard the name Jane Addams in my childhood I never had any idea what the "settlement house" thing was about. I really enjoyed this book and didn't spot any obvious errors. It might not be as scholarly as C.V. Wedgwood's "The Thirty Years War," but it's as well-written and readable.

    The assassination of McKinley changed the country as much as those of Lincoln and Kennedy - fascinating saga.
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 23, 2016*

How this tragic event of 1901 - the assassination by a true believing anarchist of a conservative, popular, business-as-usual President McKinley - led to the progressive era in the United States. Theodore Roosevelt, much to the chagrin of the powers that be, became President and quickly determined he had to straddle the chasm between the progressivism sought by the anarchist. and the big business interests of America. Extremely interesting, well told with details I most certainly did not know, and in a context that is incredibly enlightening. Did the murderer do us all one big favor, perhaps unintentionally? The action most certainly had powerful consequences, which we live with and appreciate to this day.
