 I was first introduced to Harold Schechter by a podcast (The Last Podcast On The Left) that I listen to. They have cited a couple of his other books in some of their episodes, and I enjoyed his writing and how well researched the books were. I just got this book a few days ago on Audible, and it was a fairly short one. I think it was around four hours. This book details the town of Bath, Michigan, which I had never heard of until this book, and some of the inhabitants. One of the inhabitants, Andrew Kehoe, was a real character. He eventually orchestrated a plan to blow up the new, modern primary school in hopes to destroy the school and all of the students and faculty. The amount of damage he inflicted was amazing to me. I had never heard of this disaster, and looked up images of the aftermath. This was a very interesting and educational book. I really enjoyed it and would recommend.
