{"product_id":"9781611881783","title":"American Red","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his accomplished debut novel, Fortunate Son, David Marlett introduced readers to a fresh take on historical fiction, built around the transcripts of one of the most momentous legal trials in history. Now he returns with a dramatic new story and an equally dramatic trial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1907, deadly, one-eyed union boss \"Big Bill\" Haywood was accused of ordering the successful assassination-by-bombing of the governor of Idaho – the first such assassination in American history. The trial, with Haywood represented by a young Clarence Darrow, was front-page news from coast to coast and across the globe. As it played out, it would present in vivid detail America's doomed thrust toward radical socialism, a \"red\" revolution that was gaining traction in Russia and other parts of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican Red brings the story of the events leading up to this trial – and the trial itself – to dramatic life. It is a sweeping tale of murder, adultery, corruption, mountain Mafia, the Pinkertons, domestic terrorism, government-sanctioned kidnapping, the last gunslingers, mining unions, and perhaps the greatest train race ever. It is both breathless entertainment and an unforgettable portrait of a younger America at the precipice of great change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Story Plant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45559702290511,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":663.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781611881783","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
