SUMMARY:Kevin Galvin at Harvard Book Store
DESCRIPTION:Harvard Book Store welcomes Kevin Galvin—former deputy national editor of The Boston Globe and correspondent for the Associated Press and The Seattle Times—for a discussion of his new book\, Troubled Times: The Boston Courthouse Bombing of 1976. He will be joined in conversation by Mitchell Zuckoff—Sumner M. Redstone Professor in Narrative Studies at Boston University and author of nine books\, including the #1 New York Times bestseller 13 Hours: The Inside Account of What Really Happened in Benghazi\, which was adapted into the Michael Bay/Paramount Pictures movie of the same name. \nAbout Troubled Times\nInterweaves the stories of a revolutionary and a bombing victim to explore the roots and unintended consequences of political violence. \n1976. The Vietnam War had ended\, but radical political groups still operated clandestinely throughout the United States. Nowhere was the threat of civil unrest greater than in Boston. Racial tensions had been building since a federal judge ordered the desegregation of the Boston Public Schools\, and civic leaders were counting on the pageantry of the nation’s Bicentennial to boost both tourism and investment. In April\, the Sam Melville-Jonathan Jackson Unit\, prison reformers schooled in Marxism and angered by US interventions abroad\, bombed the Suffolk County Courthouse\, injuring twenty-two people. The site of the blast marked the spot where the lives of two men intersected: a mill town kid who’d been radicalized in Vietnam and prison\, and an immigrant waiting in line because he needed to renew a cab license. \nFifty years after the bombing shook the city\, Troubled Times tells the story of lives changed by political violence at a time when the American experiment is again in crisis.
