American Lightning

3 out of 5
There are so many names swirling around in this book that you have to keep a pen and paper close by. Who is who and what do they do does get a bit confusing.
This book covers the before, during, and after of the explosion that destroyed the Los Angeles Times building on October 1, 1910. One of many planned attacks to bring this country to its knees. Labor Activists, Hollywood, Big Names Business Leader, Leading Attorney's, wanna be Land Baron and Common Criminals all had a part in this story that was toted as the Crime of the Century.
Unfortunately, it is billed as a Can't-Put-It-Down Thriller, unfortunately for me it was a Really-Do-I-Have-To-Finish-It.
