Fascinating Book

Destiny of the Republic
A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President


When I started this book, I only knew that James Garfield was a past President and nothing else about him.  This is an amazing story of popular man turned President who suffers a gunshot wound and the horrific medical decisions that were made to "save" him.  So many interesting details of the times (1880-1881).

I couldn't put this book down.  If you love history, you will love this book.
