Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President
Manage episode 422773892 series 2981837
Marking one of the shortest presidencies in American history, James A. Garfield died less than seven months after inauguration due to a bullet wound sustained during an attempted assassination. A Civil War hero born into abject poverty, President Garfield’s attempted assassination set off a bitter struggle for power in the American government—even extending to contention surrounding the medical care used to treat his wound. Candice Millard, in conversation with David M. Rubenstein, offers an extraordinary account of Garfield’s momentous, if brief, presidential career and the legacy left not only by his work but by his death.
