The Day Wall Street Exploded

In The Day Wall Street Exploded, Beverly Gage uncovers a largely forgotten terrorist attack through an extensive investigation based on Bureau of Investigation reports. This historical narrative not only details the four-year pursuit of the attackers, reaching as far as Italy and the emerging Soviet Union, but also explores the influences of homegrown terrorism on American society. By examining the lives of key figures such as J.P. Morgan, Jr., Emma Goldman, and J. Edgar Hoover, the book highlights the tumultuous events shaping early 20th-century America, including the establishment of anti-communism and the defense of civil liberties.
