Sobre este artículo
This is an unread first edition of The Dynamite Fiend, a 2005 book about one of the most devious criminals of the 19th century. Alexander Keith was a member of the Keith brewing family of Nova Scotia, and worked for the firm for a short time. But he was also a Confederate spy who helped orchestrate some of the most infamous terrorist plots of the Civil War. In peacetime, dogged by creditors and victims of his numerous frauds, Keith continued to scheme, scam and cheat, while his obsession with explosives became more intense. Finally, in 1875, a scheme to blow up an empty passenger ship for the insurance money backfired and 80 people were killed. The world called it 'the Crime of the Century'. In this book, American author Ann Larabee unfolds an engrossing tale of obsession and the lust for power and profit.
This is a first Canadian edition. The dust jacket is unclipped. It has no shelfwear and there is not a mark in it or on it.
