![]() ![]() ![]() Czolgosz was on the losing end of the economic changes taking place-a first-generation Polish immigrant and factory worker sickened by a government that seemed focused solely on making the rich richer. Under its popular Republican commander-in-chief, the United States was undergoing an uneasy transition from a simple agrarian society to an industrial powerhouse spreading its influence overseas by force of arms. McKinley was to his contemporaries an enigma, a president whose conflicted feelings about imperialism reflected the country’s own. The two men seemed to live in eerily parallel Americas. The President and the Assassin is the story of the momentous years leading up to that event, and of the very different paths that brought together two of the most compelling figures of the era: President William McKinley and Leon Czolgosz, the anarchist who murdered him. ![]() The shocking murder of President William McKinley threw into stark relief the emerging new world order of what would come to be known as the American Century. In 1901, as America tallied its gains from a period of unprecedented imperial expansion, an assassin’s bullet shattered the nation’s confidence. A sweeping tale of turn-of-the-century America and the irresistible forces that brought two men together one fateful day. ![]()

![]() ![]() Review 2: I don't know why I'm giving this book 3 stars. I honestly wouldn't have a problem with the romance subplot if it actually lent itself to the story and didn't feel like the author's creepy wish fulfilment. They're perfectly creepy and unsettling and go to show how good this novel could have easily been if the author would've just left the teen romance crap at the door. more bout perky background characters who would make better protagonists then the main? You got them! And the forced love triangle? You bet your ass!The best parts from this novel easily come from the scenes with the collector. What about the bad boy with a heart of gold? Meet Rafe.

Lorde tackles: the racism in New York in 1984, the sexism in black men and their treatment of black women, the anti-lesbianism in the black community, and finally the treatment of black women of themselves and each other.
