BOMBINGS | “L.A. Times, Part 1: Midnight Assassins”

In the early 1900s, a new phase starts in the ongoing battle between unions and big businesses. Some union organizers begin using bombs to try to force employers to negotiate. In 1910, the powerful Iron Workers union launches a nationwide bombing campaign against ruthless business owners. On October 1, 1910, notorious bomber J.B. McNamara targets the Los Angeles Times building in one of the worst attacks in American history.

For the full story of the L.A. Times bombing, check out the fantastic book “Deadly Times” by Lew Irwin.
