Burns, crusading lawyer Clarence Darrow, and industryshaping filmmaker D. W. Griffith."Hugely engaging . . . has tremendous verve . . . American Lightning throws valuable new light on an episode that seems, for us today, particularly pertinent. Terrorism happened here." Los Angeles Times"A fastmoving, skillfully constructed account . . . Blums style is cinematic." Chicago SunTimes"Compelling . . . a tense detective story." Seattle Times"A thumpinggood drumroll of narrative history . . . the crosscountry manhunt reads like a great mystery novel . . .
