C'è una pagina di storia che i calabresi non conoscono affatto. È quella di Giuseppe Zangara, un emigrato trentatreenne di Ferruzzano, in provincia di Reggio Calabria, che a Miami, in Florida, il 15 febbraio 1933, attentò alla vita di Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Il folle gesto non andò in porto. Almeno non secondo le intenzioni di Zangara, che avrebbe voluto passare alle cronache per essere riuscito a portare a compimento il progetto di eliminare il Presidente (eletto) degli Stati Uniti, che considerava il simbolo, insieme al suo paese, delle disuguaglianze e delle ingiustizie del mondo. L'attentato fortunatamente fallì. Per Roosevelt, si trattò solo di un grosso spavento. L'importanza di questo libro, tuttavia, non sta soltanto nella descrizione minuziosa del progetto omicida di Zangara e delle fasi, fino alla sua morte, sulla sedia elettrica, che si susseguirono nelle cinque settimane successive all'attentato. Nessuno, certo, può dire cosa sarebbe accaduto se il piccolo calabrese di Ferruzzano (era alto solo un metro e cinquanta) fosse riuscito a centrare il bersaglio. Se e in che modo la storia americana e del mondo sarebbe cambiata. Curatore: Massara, K. Numero pagine 274. Il copyright dei dati è di Informazioni Editoriali I.E. Srl.

Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Near fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: near fine. Presumed First Edition. Presumed First Edition. Hardcover. 9 1/4" X 6 1/4". xiii, 273pp. Faint shelfwear to unclipped dust jacket. Bound in black cloth over boards, with spine lettered in gilt. Binding is firm, tight, and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. A highly presentable copy of this account of the 1933 assassination attempt on the life of President-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt by Giuseppe Zangara. ABOUT THIS BOOK: In Miami Florida, on February 15, 1933, Giuseppe Zangara, an unemployed New Jersey bricklayer from Italy, fired five pistol shots at the back of President-elect Franklin Roosevelt's head from only twenty-five feet away. While all five rounds missed their target, each bullet found a separate victim. One of these was Mayor Anton Cermak of Chicago, who died of his wound some three weeks later. A scant two weeks after that, Zangara was executed in the electric chair. It was perhaps the swiftest legal execution in twentieth-century American history. With his death, Zangara took to the grave the answer to one of the most baffling unsolved mysteries in the annals of Presidential assassinations. Was FDR Zangara's real target? Or was he a mob hitman who actually intended to kill Cermak, as legendary columnist and FDR confidant Walter Winchell believed? Was he a terrorist, as the LA police contended? Could he have been a member of La Camorra, a Neapolitan crime society, as the prison warden insisted? Was he simply insane, as many at the time thought? Or was he really a martyr for the cause of the Common Man, as he himself proclaimed? These are some of the questions dealt with in this first-ever analysis of a fascinating true crime. This work is based not only on trial transcripts, police records, personal interviews and newspaper accounts, but on Zangara's own memoir, which had been lost in the prison warden's papers until it was unearthed by the author. This incredible saga is history in the round: it involves law, medicine and politics at the highest levels. The discovery, for example, that Cermak died not from his relatively simple wound, but as a result of malpractice, is but one ofthe fascinating aspects of this new history. (publisher).
