Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In Fire and Lamentations, Janvier T. Chando offers readers succinct accounts of the lives, ideals, and untimely deaths of the towering political figures whose assassinations shocked American society, triggered domestic political transformations, and fundamentally altered America foreign policy, so that the United States of America lost its innocence forever.


Spanning a century, the shooting deaths of four United States Presidents — Abraham Lincoln, William McKinley, James A. Garfield, and John F. Kennedy — and the country’s soul and the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. brought about so much pain to the United States of America that it is yet to fully overcome as a society.


So, it is not surprising that many Americans dread the thought of the assassination of another United States leader who wields popular support, especially at a time when the country is so divided. This book presents an account that highlights some of the factors to look into in order to understand past assassinations and forestall future ones.
