In YOUR DAY Wall Street Exploded, Beverly Gage tells the storyplot of a once infamous but now largely forgotten terrorist attack. Based on thousands of web pages of Bureau of Analysis reports, this historic detective saga traces the four-year hunt for the perpetrators, a worldwide effort that pass on as far as Italy and the brand new Soviet nation. In addition, it takes listeners back to the decades-long but little-known background of homegrown terrorism that formed American society a century ago.

The book about The Day Wall Road Exploded: A TALE of America in Its Initial Age of Terror delves in to the lives of victims, suspects, and investigators: world banking power J. P. Morgan, Jr.; labor radical ‘Big Expenses’ Haywood; anarchist firebrands Emma Goldman and Luigi Galleani; ‘America’s Sherlock Holmes,’ William J. Uses up; even a youthful J. Edgar Hoover. It grapples as well with a few of the most controversial occasions of its day time, including the rise from the Bureau of Investigation, the federal marketing campaign against immigrant ‘terrorists,’ the grassroots work to determine and secure civil liberties, and the establishment of anti-communism as the sine qua non of American politics.

Many Americans saw the destruction from the World Trade Center as the first major terrorist attack on American soil, an act of bad without precedent. YOUR DAY Wall Road Exploded reminds us that terror, as well, has a history.
