It's not an easy book to read—the details of the terrorist act are, as you might expect, extremely horrifying—but it's a fascinating look at one of the most unspeakable events in American history.

Exhaustively researched and told in an unflinching narrative...bringing a crime from almost 100 years ago into sharp modern-day detail.

Readers may wish for more detail on Kehoe's own psychology and thoughts; nevertheless, the minute-by-minute account of the event and the firsthand reports create a strong sense of place and time and bring this chilling story to life.

... a concise, harrowing work of social history.

In his usual way, Schechter engrosses the reader without being sensationalist, and fans of his previous work would do well to pick this up..

... gripping.
