ISBN: 9780762783540.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween 1907 and 1911, the United States was hit by the longest period of sustained terrorism in its history. Of more than 200 bombings that were carried out during this period, the most shocking was the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building on the morning of October 1, 1910, which killed at least twenty people.\n\nDeadly Times tells the fascinating story of the bombing, the search to apprehend the bombers, the issues that polarized the nation, and the dramatic trials that ensued. The magnificent cast of characters includes:\n\nGeneral Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the Los Angeles Times, whose anti-unionist crusade led to its being singled out as a bombing target.\n\nWilliam J. Burns, who tracked down the bombers and would eventually become the first director of the FBI.\n\nEarl Rogers, the brilliant criminal attorney who became the model for Perry Mason.\n\nThe legendary Clarence Darrow, who defended the bombers\n\nAnd the bombers themselves, the brothers J.J. and J.B. McNamara, who upon their arrest became symbols of capitalist treachery to the working class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lyons Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45119216058421,"sku":"ByrdShop_0762783540","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780762783540_e361c9d7-5464-4079-88c1-62f391b40750.jpg?v=1778735023","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/deadly-times-the-1910-bombing-of-the-los-angeles-times-and-americas-forgotten-decade-of-terror-9780762783540","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
