Tsarnaev,

In Maximum Harm, veteran investigative journalist Michele R. McPhee unravels the complex story behind the public facts of the Boston Marathon bombing.

Mayhem goes a long way toward answering questions that still linger about the notorious Boston Marathon bombing, such as: Where were the bombs made? And what had been Tamerlan Tsarnaev's relationship to the FBI? This page-turning narrative casts a spotlight on the US Government's relationship with the older Tsarnaev brother as his younger brother, Dzhokhar, continues his efforts to have his death sentence commuted.

Il 15 aprile 2013, al traguardo della Maratona di Boston, due bombe rudimentali provocano la morte di tre persone e il ferimento di altre 264. Responsabili delle esplosioni due fratelli, Tamerlan e Jahar Tsarnaev, sedicenti jadisti di orìgine cecena. Tamerlan muore in uno scontro a fuoco con la polizia pochi giorni dopo l'attentato; Jahar viene invece catturato e condannato alla pena capitale. Masha Gessen ricostruisce non solo la storia della famiglia Tsarnaev, ma anche il contesto della tragedia di cui i due fratelli sono stati protagonisti: le due guerre cecene e l'ascesa di Putin, la Guerra al Terrore degli Stati Uniti, il clima di sospetto nei confronti dei musulmani, i meccanismi che hanno spinto molti caucasici a radicalizzarsi. Il suo libro unisce la cronaca distaccata a un'appassionata denuncia delle scelte politiche e ideologiche da cui la vita dei fratelli Tsarnaev e delle loro vittime è rimasta stritolata.

National Book Award winner Masha Gessen tells an important story for our era: How the American Dream went wrong for two immigrants, and the nightmare that resulted.

On April 15, 2013 Boston, Massachusetts, Police Sgt, Tommy Saunders is pulling security duty on the annual Boston Marathon when the Tsarnaev brothers strike with their homemade bombs in an act of terrorism. In the resulting chaos as the wounded are cared for, Saunders and his comrades join forces with the FBI to get to the bottom of this attack. As the investigation continues, the Tsarnaev brothers realize that the authorities are close to identifying them and attempt to flee the city to continue their fanatical mayhem. To stop them, a police manhunt is performed that would have bloody confrontations and a massive dragnet shutting down the City of Boston to make sure there is no escape from the law.
