The Day Wall Street Exploded: A
Story of America in Its First Age of Terror
by Beverly Gage '94, assistant professor of history
Oxford University Press, $27.95
“It was a crash out of a blue
sky," wrote a New York City reporter, but the event was not September 11.
Rather, it was the September 16, 1920, explosion of a dynamite-filled wagon
parked on Wall Street. Gage tells a gripping tale of homegrown terrorism.
Blood in the Cage: Mixed Martial Arts,
Pat Miletich, and the Furious Rise of the UFC
L. Jon Wertheim '93
by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $25
“Mixed martial arts is not about two reprobates beating each other
senseless," argues Sports Illustrated senior writer Wertheim. In a gruesomely fascinating
book, he explores the appeal, for fighters and legions of fans alike, of the
staggering violence that takes place within the steel cages of the Ultimate
Fighting Championship.
Hysterical Men: The Hidden History
of Male Nervous Illness
by Mark S. Micale
'87PhD
Harvard University Press, $29.95
Hysteria
was originally attributed to a wandering uterus and associated with a raft of
"female" symptoms, from paralysis to heart palpitations. Yet males suffer from
the same ailments. Micale offers a provocative look at the reasons why the idea
of male neurosis was suppressed for so long.
Passing Strange: A Gilded Age Tale
of Love and Deception Across the Color Line
by Martha
A. Sandweiss '85PhD
Penguin Press, $27.95
Clarence King, Class of 1862, was an eminent explorer and author. He was also a
man with a secret. In order to marry the woman he loved without causing scandal
or sacrificing his career, King, who was white, led a double life as a black
porter for 13 years. Princeton historian Sandweiss tells the stories of
Clarence King/James Todd and his wife, Ada.
