He then disappeared into a dark tunnel. After an intense manhunt, and his eventual surrender in New Hampshire, the man the tabloid media had dubbed the \"Death Wish Vigilante\" would become a celebrity and a hero to countless ordinary Americans who had been frustrated with the economic fallout of the Reagan 80s. Overnight, Goetz's young victims would become villains. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOut of this dramatic moment would emerge an angry nation, in which Rupert Murdoch's New York Post and later Fox News Network stoked the fear and the fury of a stunning number of Americans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from never-before-seen archival materials, legal files, and more, Heather Ann Thompson narrates the Bernie Goetz Subway shootings and their decades-long reverberations, while deftly recovering the lives of the boys whom too many decided didn't matter. \u003ci\u003eFear and Fury\u003c\/i\u003e is the remarkable account and a searing indictment of a crucial turning point in American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHEATHER ANN THOMPSON\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian and the Pulitzer Prize and Bancroft Prize-winning author of \u003ci\u003eBlood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy\u003c\/i\u003e.
