A Wilderness of Error: The Trials of Jeffrey MacDonald
New York: Penguin Press, 2012. First edition. Hardback. Fine (rem. stripe) in fine dust jacket. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. 524 pp. with index. Illustrations. The true story of Jeffrey MacDonald, a Green Beret doctor stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina who, in 1970 arrived home to find hid pregnant wife and two young daughters murdered; with the word "PIg" written in blood on the headboard in the master bedroom, the crime was eerily similar to the Manson killings of the year before---and as he was being loaded into an ambulance, MacDonald accused a band of drug-crazed hippies of the crime. So began one of the most notorious and mysterious murder cases of the 20th century. MacDonald was convicted in 1979 but author Errol Morris in this work re-examines the crime and tells the reader that almost everything we have been told about the case is deeply unreliable, and that crucial elements of the case against MacDonald simply are not true. Fine / fine. Item #E29991
