FFRPL presents Books Sandwiched In: review of "The Infernal Machine: A True Story of Dynamite, Terror, and the Rise of the Modern Detective" In-Person

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gary Craig will review The Infernal Machine: A True Story of Dynamite, Terror, and the Rise of the Modern Detective by Steven Johnson.

The Infernal Machine is a historical account of two ideas: the political philosophy of anarchy – along with the “dynamite-driven political terrorism” that furthered that vision in the U.S. – and the idea of crime fighting as information science, based on data (vs. ‘brute force’).

Award-winning investigative journalist Gary Craig is a member of the D&C’s Watchdog team. He focuses on public safety and criminal justice. He has worked at Rochester newspapers since 1990.

Find copies of "The Infernal Machine" from the Monroe County Library System calalog.
