Summary: Accurate detail created a conspiracy
Comment: It used to be if you went to any used book store in New Orleans
you couldn't get this book. Owners willing to talk said that they were told to keep the books from the public and the New Orleans police would come by and pick them up. Others would
just say "No can't get that book" and refused to even talk about it. What were they afraid of? Was the sniper on his own or did the black panthers have a hand in it? It took a long time to get one guy and most swore there was more than 1 gun man. No grassy knoll. Just a rooftop. I think Peter Hernon did an outstanding job on this book and for anyone with a craze for black history, conspiracys and a little recent New Orleans history, this book is worth a read. The Rault Center was another tragedy and we will never know if the two are linked.

Summary: Good Book for True Crime Readers
Comment: About a year ago, I became interested in true crime novels after reading "Righteous Carnage - the John List Murders". You can't help but to appreciate the painstaking research that is done to reconstruct these horrible acts of the past. "A terrible thunder" does a good job in getting the reader literally consumed in the action as it unfolds. There is rarely a dull moment in the book. The inset photos, however, are a blurred quality since the event occurred in the early 1970's and could use a little more detail, but overall the book gives you an exciting view into the magnitude of what ultimately materialized at that time in New Orlean's past.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Book.
Comment: The New York Times wrote, "A Terrible Thunder is more than just another fashionable journalistic rehashing of a crime. In its depiction of Essex's abrupt transmogrification it raises questions about the accumulated effect of petty but persistent injustices and about the individual's capacity to endure aggrievement."
This very rare book has just been reprinted by Garrett County Press. You can visit their website.
