After President William McKinley was fatally shot at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, on September 6, 1901, Americans were bereaved and frightened. Eric Rauchway's brilliant Murdering McKinley re-creates Leon Czolgosz's hastily conducted trial and then traverses America as Dr. Vernon Briggs, a Boston alienist, sets out to discover why Czolgosz rose up to kill his President. While uncovering the answer that eluded Briggs and setting the historical record straight about Czolgosz, Rauchway also provides the finest protrait yet of Theodore Roosevelt at the moment of his sudden ascension to the White House.

reviewed Murdering McKinley on October 24, 2014 Murdering McKinley
A wonderful succinct history of Progressive Era focusing on how the assassination of McKinley shaped Progressivism, Rauchway treats TR more kindly than I've seen him treated in the last few years. I have a love-hate relationship with TR and tend to agree with the author on TR's domestic policies. Now, if heh adn't insisted on that Big Stick and let the Philippines alone. Outside of Jefferson I think TR was our most brilliant president. And like Jefferson he was batshit crazy, too. I knew some f the history of Leon Czolgosz, but was unaware of the Briggs study that Rauchway draws on extensively. Of real interest to me is Rauchway's analysis of TR and Leon. This is a great addition to Progressive Era, anarchist, and crime studies. And, of course, a study in the shaping of political power
