Description

It had been an explosion that reverberated over the country—and in to the very center of early-twentieth-century America. On the day of October 1, 1910, the surfaces of the L A Times Building secured like a thunderous detonation delivered equipment, guys, and mortar rocketing in to the evening air. When finally the debris have been sifted and a healthcare facility triage models contacted, twenty one everyone was reported dead and dozens more wounded. But because it ended up, this was only a prelude for the hardship that was to come.In National Turbo, acclaimed author Howard Blum well evokes the circumstances that resulted in the initial “crime of the century”—and an aftermath more remarkable than perhaps the offense itself.
