The Traitor : Being the Untampered With Unrevised Account of the Trial and All That Led to It

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Traitor' is a personal and controversial account written by Harry Kendall Thaw, the millionaire at the center of one of the most sensational legal battles in American history. Often referred to as the 'Trial of the Century,' the book details the events surrounding Thaw's fatal shooting of the renowned architect Stanford White on the roof of Madison Square Garden in 1906. This work serves as Thaw's own unfiltered defense and narrative of the circumstances that led to the crime, involving his wife, the famous model and actress Evelyn Nesbit.Through this first-hand perspective, the reader is granted a unique look into the Gilded Age's high society, the scandals of the era, and the legal strategies employed during two high-profile trials. Thaw discusses his motivations, his perceptions of White's character, and his experiences within the justice system and mental health institutions of the early 20th century. 'The Traitor' remains a significant historical document for those interested in American true crime, the social dynamics of the early 1900s, and the intersection of wealth, celebrity, and the law.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
