Primordial American Terrorists: A True History of Events Leading to The End of Slavery in the United States (Profiles in Terrorism)

Primordial American Terrorists is a striking new interpretation of the events leading to the end of legal slavery in the United States. Along the way, it reveals the duality of the terrorist persona, a profile the author pioneered in his earlier book, Sofia Perovskaya, Terrorist Princess. Primordial American Terrorists tells a story, not only of terrorists who struck suddenly and savagely out of intense passion for a cause, but also, of their direct comparison with equally passionate men and women who dedicated themselves to bringing about social justice through advocacy and other non-violent means. It is a researched, footnoted history, never fictionalized.Historical figures who are featured and profiled in this book include: Nat Turner, John Brown, Benjamin Lundy, William Lloyd Garrison, Prudence Crandall, Amos Dresser, Elijah Lovejoy, Frederick Douglass, William Henry Seward, Edward Gorsuch, John Wilkes Booth, Charles Sumner, Andrew Butler, Hugh Forbes, Aaron Stevens, Harriet Tubman, James Montgomery, Charles Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln, George Sanders, John Hunt Morgan, John Surratt, and Lewis Powell.
