About this book

A biographical look at A. Mitchell Palmer, an infamous character in American politics during the 20th century and attorney general under Wilson. Palmer's career takes an unexplainable turn from his early progressive acts like ending child labor; to later becoming a leader of the nativists and deporting hundreds of innocent immigrants.
