Skilfully belying the undercurrents of loss and violence that course through her journey, Vowell injects a range of lighter detours along the way, including mummies, show tunes, mean-spirited totem poles, a nineteenth-century biblical sex cult – and exactly how Lincoln’s Republican Party became Bush’s Republican Party. Assassination Vacation is a fascinating, informative, and richly entertaining look at the myriad ways in which political assassinations have altered and shaped our nation’s history.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 214mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 220gAuthor: Sarah VowellGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, Travel & TransportRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
