Synopsis
PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE!
Creator of the bestselling The Brick Bible book series, author Brendan Powell Smith turns his acclaimed storytelling and illustrative talents to bring to life some of the most shocking, pivotal, and bizarre moments in the history of the United States.
From John Wilkes Booth's diabolical plot to kill the President, Vice-President, and Secretary of State in a single night to John Hinckley's deranged bid to impress actress Jodie Foster by shooting Ronald Reagan, Smith brings an eye for meticulous detail and a sense of both gravitas and whimsy toward his subject matter, retelling the fascinating and often tragic stories behind attempts on the lives of a dozen US presidents.
Relive the events leading up to John F. Kennedy's fatal ride through Dealey Plaza in Dallas including an earlier attempt on the president's life when a 73-year-old man strapped dynamite to his own body and followed Kennedy to church. Rediscover the stories of how Gerald Ford survived two assassination attempts by women just seventeen days apart. And how a failed businessman hijacked a plane and planned to crash it into the White House to take vengeance on Richard Nixon for the Watergate scandal.
With over four hundred highly detailed illustrations (including recreations of many famous photographs and historical scenes), Smith has created a book that will captivate even those who wouldn't normally think to pick up a history book. It's a new Brick Chronicle of our collective past.
It's history made fun!
