"In 1927, while the majority of the township of Bath, Michigan, was celebrating a new primary school--one of the most modern in the Midwest--Andrew P. Kehoe had other plans ... Behind his ordinary demeanor was a narcissistic sadist seething with rage, resentment, and paranoia. On May 18 he detonated a set of rigged explosives with the sole purpose of destroying the school and everyone in it ... Maniac is Harold Schechter's ... chronicle of a town forced to comprehend unprecedented carnage and the triggering of a 'human time bomb' whose act of apocalyptic violence would foreshadow the terrors of the current age"--Publisher marketing.
