Reviews
"Dynamite, cops, anarchists--what more could you ask for? With narrative elan, Johnson tells the story of how an 'infernal' invention forever disrupted our political world. It's a fast-burning fuse of a book, every page bursting with revelatory detail." --Erik Larson, New York Times bestselling author of The Splendid and the Vile

Synopsis
A riveting account of the anarchists who terrorized the streets of New York--and the detective duo who transformed policing to meet the threat--from the bestselling author of The Ghost Map, "A fast-burning fuse of a book, every page bursting with revelatory detail."--ERIK LARSON A sweeping account of the anarchists who terrorized the streets of New York and the detective duo who transformed policing to meet the threat--a tale of fanaticism, forensic science, and dynamite from the bestselling author of The Ghost Map A CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR - LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION - NOMINATED FOR THE EDGAR AWARD Steven Johnson's engrossing account of the epic struggle between the anarchist movement and the emerging surveillance state stretches around the world and between two centuries--from Alfred Nobel's invention of dynamite and the assassination of Czar Alexander II to New York City in the shadow of World War I. April 1914. The NYPD is still largely the corrupt, low-tech organization of the Tammany Hall era. To the extent the police are stopping crime--as opposed to committing it--their role has been almost entirely defined by physical force: the brawn of the cop on the beat keeping criminals at bay with nightsticks and fists. The solving of crimes is largely outside their purview. The new commissioner, Arthur Woods, is determined to change that, but he cannot anticipate the maelstrom of violence that will soon test his science-based approach to policing. Within weeks of his tenure, New York City is engulfed in the most concentrated terrorism campaign in the nation's history: a five-year period of relentless bombings, many of them perpetrated by the anarchist movement led by legendary radicals Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman. Coming to Woods's aide are Inspector Joseph Faurot, a science-first detective who works closely with him in reforming the police force, and Amadeo Polignani, the young Italian undercover detective who infiltrates the notorious Bresci Circle. Johnson reveals a mostly forgotten period of political conviction, scientific discovery, assassination plots, bombings, undercover operations, and innovative sleuthing. The Infernal Machine is the complex pre-history of our current moment, when decentralized anarchist networks have once again taken to the streets to protest law enforcement abuses, right-wing militia groups have attacked government buildings, and surveillance is almost ubiquitous., "A fast-burning fuse of a book, every page bursting with revelatory detail."--ERIK LARSON A sweeping account of the anarchists who terrorized the streets of New York and the detective duo who transformed policing to meet the threat--a tale of fanaticism, forensic science, and dynamite from the bestselling author of The Ghost Map A CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR * LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION * NOMINATED FOR THE EDGAR AWARD Steven Johnson's engrossing account of the epic struggle between the anarchist movement and the emerging surveillance state stretches around the world and between two centuries--from Alfred Nobel's invention of dynamite and the assassination of Czar Alexander II to New York City in the shadow of World War I.

    Seller is awesome. Sent quickly, but post office sent back saying i had moved. Not true. Contacted seller, they assured me it would be sent back to me once it was returned. Even went the extra mile to send it fed ex, so usps couldn't screw it up. Again, thank you so much! This seller right here, trustworthy! Also, product as advertised, in great shape. Would buy again.

    Seller made a great offer and purchased these jeans. Didn’t need much communication because the item was shipped promptly. Packaging was secure and neat and a reasonable price. The jeans are almost new as described.

    Love the shirt! Super fast shipping. It actually looks new! Exactly as described and it even looks better in person. The only thing I'd consider are these vintage shirts are cut a bit small, so I'd get a size up from what you think you need. Packaging was great. Excellent value for the money. People sell these for like hundreds at boutiques. Thanks seller!!!
