Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President by Candice Millard

informative sad medium-paced

4.0

This book richly captures the moment of President Garfield’s assassination and paints the picture of not simply a national tragedy but a deeply personal one that could have easily been averted. The book covers a forgotten event but could use a little more speculation on what would have happened if Garfield had lived.
