Rampage

In 1949, Howard Unruh became infamous after a morning walk in New Jersey turned tragic when he used a 9 mm Luger pistol to murder thirteen of his neighbors in just twelve minutes before returning home. His obsessive diaries revealed a complex web of rage and grievances, marking him as a prototype for modern mass murderers and foreshadowing a new era of violence in America. "Rampage," part of Harold Schechter's Bloodlands series, delves into this chilling true-crime story among other historical narratives of notorious killers throughout the past century.
