Taking Aim at the President-The Remarkable Story of the Woman Who Shot at Gerald Ford
The legacy of 1960’s and 70’s America holds much more than baby boomer memories of self-discovery and youthful rebellion. The political frustration and activism of the era out shadows anything that came after it. Some of our most beloved cultural leaders died at the hands of fellow Americans during that crucial time, making it a period that was as dangerous as it was inspirational. The enclosed book reveals the life and fate of a woman whose story embodies the fascinating and frightening underbelly of America’s cultural revolution.
