Hardback. Condizione: Good. Just after noon on September 16, 1920, as hundreds of workers poured onto Wall Street for their lunchtime break, a horse-drawn cart packed with dynamite exploded in a spray of metal and fire, turning the busiest corner of the financial center into a war zone. Thirty-nine people died and hundreds more lay wounded, making the Wall Street explosion the worst terrorist attack to that point in U.S. history. In The Day Wall Street Exploded, Beverly Gage tells the story of that once infamous but now largely forgotten event. Based on thousands of pages of Bureau of Investigation reports, this historical detective saga traces the four-year hunt for the perpetrators, a worldwide effort that spread as far as Italy and the new Soviet nation. It also takes readers back into the decades-long but little-known history of homegrown terrorism that shaped American society a century ago. The book delves into the lives of victims, suspects, and investigators: world banking power J.P. Morgan, Jr.; labor radical "Big Bill" Haywood; anarchist firebrands Emma Goldman and Luigi Galleani; "America's Sherlock Holmes," William J. Burns; even a young J. Edgar Hoover. It grapples as well with some of the most controversial events of its day, including the rise of the Bureau of Investigation, the federal campaign against immigrant "terrorists," the grassroots effort to define and protect civil liberties, and the establishment of anti-communism as the sine qua non of American politics. Many Americans saw the destruction of the World Trade Center as the first major terrorist attack on American soil, an act of evil without precedent. The Day Wall Street Exploded reminds us that terror, too, has a history.…

Thirty~eight people died in the blast and scores lay wounded, making it the nation's worst terrorist attack until the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. In The Day Wall Street Exploded, Beverly Gage gives us the full story of the "outrage," as it was called, from the flash of detonation to the slow~burn investigation that followed. To many, the bombing's target came as no surprise. For years political radicals had made Wall Street and its excesses the focus of their struggle against injustice in America. Anarchists, Wobblies, Bolsheviks, socialists: different as their agendas and ideologies were, they united in their rage against the plutocrats and oligarchs, the Morgans and Rockefellers who controlled the levers of financial power. Expected or not, the explosion's impact was immediate and far~ranging. It was an attack against American exceptionalism, a blow to the trumpeted gains of the Progressive Era, and a setback to America's seemingly inevitable ascendancy in the post~World War I global order. But who was responsible? Cracking the case became a high~stakes affair on which reputations were made and destroyed. Based on thousands of pages of federal documents, The Day Wall Street Exploded offers a thrilling historical detective saga, tracing the hunt for the perpetrators as far as Italy and the new Soviet nation. Despite the resources expended and the combined efforts of the country's preeminent detectives~including "America's Sherlock Holmes," William J. Burns, and an ambitious new face at the Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover~ lead after lead ended in failure. The investigation turned into a comedy of errors, marred by incompetence, grandstanding, xenophobia, and scapegoating. Brilliantly evoking the intersecting lives of the targets, suspects, and investigators, Gage's book recovers a dimly remembered moment in American history, yet one whose implications and after~effects now seem blindingly relevant. Some mystery about the bombing remains, but The Day Wall Street Exploded offers us at least one chilling certainty: terrorism has played an enduring role in American history. …
