If you have not read one of Candice Millard's riveting historical accounts, you should run–not walk–to your local bookseller to get a copy. Where to start? No better place than her gripping, revelatory telling of President Garfield’s assassination attempt, in DESTINY OF THE REPUBLIC: A TALE OF MADNESS, MEDICINE AND THE MURDER OF A PRESIDENT.
