About this title

Synopsis

Follows Governor George Wallace during his campaign for the presidential nomination and looks at the diary of his attempted assassin for clues to his actions

Reviews

A lucid investigation into the minds of former Alabama governor George Wallace and his would-be assassin Arthur Bremer. Wallace is the racist politician who ran strongly in the 1972 presidential primaries before being gunned down by Bremer. Healey doesn't deny Wallace's racist underpinnings, but he finds in Wallace a man whose "fingerprints are all over American politics" today, and therefore worthy of reflection. Wallace was a hard-driving opportunist, in love with politics, a populist garnering support from blue-collar America. After he was shot and wheel-chair bound, Wallace desired a forgiveness for his racist past, and Healey believes it was heartfelt. Bremer started life as a quiet child obsessed with death. As an adult, he wanted to do something big and noteworthy and decided to kill either then-president Nixon or candidate Wallace. Excerpts from Bremer's diaries reveal an eerie, sad person, bent on destruction. An unusual and surprising work. Brian McCombie
