Description
The Assassination Attempt on Ronald Reagan: A Harrowing Day in American History On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was just seventy days into his first term when John Hinckley Jr. opened fire outside the Washington Hilton Hotel, wounding the president, press secretary James Brady, a Secret Service agent, and a D.C. police officer. Drawing on exclusive new interviews and never-before-seen documents, photos, and videos, Del Quentin Wilber tells the electrifying story of that terrifying crisis. The book provides a minute-by-minute account of the events leading up to the assassination attempt and its aftermath, shedding light on the heroism and bravery of those involved, including Secret Service agent Jerry Parr, who saved the president's life. This is the first true record of the day and events that literally shaped Reagan's presidency and sealed his image in the modern American political firmament.
