Mad Bomber Melville is a new biography of Sam Melville, a white, working class Vietnam War-era revolutionary.
Melville was convicted as the driving force behind a spree of devastating dynamite bombings in Manhattan skyscrapers housing corporations and government agencies driving American involvement in the Vietnam War. His bombings inspired numbers of revolutionaries and set in motion a flood of similar guerrilla attacks during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Once imprisoned, Melville became a key organizer of the Attica Prison uprising of September 1971, the most significant prison uprising in United States history, where he was killed by the blast of a Policeman’s shotgun.
Mad Bomber Melville is the first and only complete biography on this powerfully influential figure, shedding light on a piece of the past with undeniable relevance the present.
