In The Field of Blood, Joanne B. Freeman recovers the long-lost story of physical violence on the floor of the US Congress. Drawing on an extraordinary range of sources, she shows that the Capitol was rife with conflict in the decades before the Civil War. Legislative sessions were often punctuated by mortal threats, canings, flipped desks, and all-out slugfests. When debate broke down, congressmen drew pistols and waved Bowie knives. One representative even killed another in a duel. Many were beaten and bullied in an attempt to intimidate them into compliance, particularly on the issue of slavery.

Henriques takes listeners back to a time when America’s financial landscape was a jungle ruled by the titans of vast wealth, largely unrestrained by government. Roosevelt ran for office in 1932 vowing to curb that ruthless capitalism and make the world of finance safer for ordinary savers and investors.

Gewidmet sei es darüber hinaus auch und vor allem für jenen, deren Freiheit man raubte oder Gesundheit zerstörte, deren Würde man mit Füßen trat, die ihre wirtschaftliche Existenz oder Angehörige verloren, die man bedrohte oder schädigte, ausgrenzte, stigmatisierte oder zu Unmenschen erklärte. All jenen also, denen man Leid zufügte und millionenfach Unrecht tat. Brigitte Röhrig belegt den Vorsatz vieler politischen und sonstigen Akteure in Sachen "Pandemie". Belegt ihr über Jahre und Jahrzehnte andauerndes planvolles und zielorientiertes Handeln.
