Con un'introduzione inedita dell'autore. «L'America non è mai stata innocente». Erano killer, spacciatori, miliardari paranoici, direttori dell'Fbi corrotti e prostitute. Cercavano le solite cose: denaro, sesso e potere. Hanno fatto la Storia. Pochi romanzi hanno inciso nell'immaginario collettivo come questo. Nel crime, c'è un prima e un dopo American Tabloid. Una rottura che è una sorta di perdita dell'innocenza: con le sue frasi cadenzate come raffiche di mitra, la vastità dell'impianto e la durezza dello sguardo, James Ellroy ha portato il noir nell'età adulta e costretto i suoi lettori a fare i conti con il passato. American Tabloid mette in scena gli uomini e le donne che hanno contribuito all'ascesa e alla caduta di John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Traccia la parabola, ipnotica e spietata, di un mito americano, dalle elezioni truccate del 1960, passando per il disastro della Baia dei Porci, fino all'iconico e fatidico mattino di Dallas, pochi istanti prima che il vestito di Jackie venga sporcato di sangue e sostanza cerebrale. Il risultato è un affresco storico magistrale che racconta la corruzione, la sete di potere e la violenza che hanno reso l'America quella che è. «Un affresco dantesco» Libération «I miei romanzi riscrivono la storia inserendola in un contesto criminale e romantico. Ritraggo la nostra storia politica come fosse un crimine di alto livello a cui partecipano golpisti innamorati in maniera turbolenta di donne forti. Tre di questi criminali formano il nocciolo di American Tabloid. Contribuiscono all'ascesa di John F. Kennedy e pianificano il suo omicidio».

DALLAS, NOVEMBER 22ND, 1963. Wayne Tedrow Jr has arrived to kill a man. The fee is $6,000. He finds himself instead in the middle of the cover-up following JFK's assassination. There follows a hellish five-year ride through the sordid underbelly of public policy via Las Vegas, Howard Hughes, Vietnam, CIA dope dealing, Cuba, sleazy showbiz, racism and the Klan. This is the 1960s under Ellroy's blistering lens, the icons of the era mingled with cops, killers, hoods, and provocateurs. The Cold Six Thousand is historical confluence as American nightmare. Fierce, epic fiction. A masterpiece.

"America was never innocent." Thus begins the Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy. It's James Ellroy's pop history of the 1960s, his window-peeper's view of government misconduct, his dirty trickster's take on the great events of an incendiary era. It's a tour de force of the American idiom, and an acknowledged masterpiece. American Tabloid gives us Jack Kennedy's ride, seen from an insider's perspective. We're there for the rigged 1960 election. We're there for the Bay of Pigs fiasco. We're the eyes and ears and souls of three rogue cops who've signed on for the ride and come to see Jack as their betrayer. We're Jack's pimps and hatchet men, and we're there for that baroque slaying in Dallas. The Cold Six Thousand takes us from Dallas to Vietnam to Memphis to the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in L.A. We're rubbing shoulders with RFK and MLK, calamitous klansmen, noted mafiosi. We're forced to relive the American sixties--and we come away breathless. The first two books of the Underworld U.S.A. Trilogy revisit the most anarchic decade in our history. They are defined by their brutal linguistic flair and reckless panache.

'Think of two parallel lines. One is the life of Lee H. Oswald. One is the conspiracy to kill the President. What bridges the space between them? What makes a connection inevitable? There is a third line. It comes out of dreams, visions, intuitions, prayers, out of the deepest levels of the self.' A troubled adolescent endlessly riding New York's subway cars, Lee Harvey Oswald enters adulthood believing himself to be an agent of history. This makes him fair game to a pair of discontented CIA operatives convinced that a failed attempt on the life of the US president will force the nation to tackle the threat of communism head on. Libra is a gripping, masterful blend of fact and fiction, laying bare the wounded American psyche and the dark events that still torment it. 'An audacious blend of fiction and fact' The Times

This book examines the “satanic panic” of the 1980s as an essential part of the growing relationship between tabloid media and American conservative politics in the 1980s. It argues that widespread fears of Satanism in a range of cultural institutions was indispensable to the development and success of both infotainment, or tabloid content on television, and the rise of the New Right, a conservative political movement that was heavily guided by a growing coalition of influential televangelists, or evangelical preachers on television. It takes as its particular focus the hundreds of accusations that devil-worshippers were operating America’s white middle-class suburban daycare centers. Dozens of communities around the country became embroiled in trials against center owners, the most publicized of which was the McMartin Preschool trial in Manhattan Beach, California. It remains the longest and most expensive criminal trial in the nation’s history.
