Housewife Assassin: The Woman Who Tried to Kill President Ford

Description

Author and investigative journalist Geri Spieler chronicles the life and dives into the mind of would-be assassin Sara Jane Moore, the only woman in American history to fire a bullet at a US President, and the only one arrested for committing this level of crime to be released from prison. After thirty years of contact while Moore was behind bars, Spieler paints a vivid personality assessment of this suburban housewife turned revolutionary and FBI informant who was far from the profile of a skilled assassin yet was still able to shoot at Ford on September 22, 1975.
