New York, N.Y. Simon & Schuster, 2005. Third Printing, Stated. Hardcover. [12], 258, [2] pages. Illustrations. Preface, Four Chapters, and Acknowledgments. Her book Assassination Vacation (2005) describes a road trip to tourist sites devoted to the murders of presidents Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield and William McKinley. In this book, Sarah Vowell exposes the glorious conundrums of American history and culture with wit, probity, and an irreverent sense of humor. She takes us on a trip like no other--a journey to the pit stops of American political murder, and through the myriad ways they have been used for fun and profit, for political and cultural advance. From Buffalo to Alaska, Washington to the Dry Tortugas, Vowell visits locations immortalized and influenced by the spilling of politically important blood, reporting as she goes with her trademark blend of wisecracking humor, remarkable honesty, and thought-provoking criticism. We learn about the jinx that was Robert Todd Lincoln (present at the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) and witness the politicking that went into the making of the Lincoln Memorial. Though the themes of loss and violence are explored, and we see how the Republican Party became the Republican Party, there are lighter diversions along the way into the lives of the three presidents and their assassins, including mummies, show tunes, mean-spirited totem poles, and a nineteenth-century biblical sex cult. While most of the book is devoted to the assassinated presidents, Vowell intersperses anecdotes of her self-proclaimed "pilgrimage" of presidential assassinations, including a production of the musical Assassins.

Front cover has damaged sticker and a one to two inch edge tear. Roy Douglas "Doug" Wead (born May, 1946) is a conservative commentator and writer. He has authored several books, some of which have made the New York Times bestsellers. In 1992, Wead was the Republican candidate for Arizona's 6th congressional district, but was defeated. He served as special assistant to U.S. president George H. W. Bush. Wead was an active participant in the 2000 United States presidential election, receiving some credit for George W. Bush's victory in the Iowa straw polls of 1999. Time magazine called Wead an insider in the Bush family orbit and "the man who coined the phrase 'compassionate conservative.'" George W. Bush first picked up the term "compassionate conservative" in 1987 from Wead. In 1979, Wead gave a speech titled "The Compassionate Conservative" at the annual Charity Awards Dinner, and tapes of the speech were later sold at corporate seminars. Wead was a senior adviser to the Ron Paul 2012 Campaign, and the Rand Paul 2016 campaign. More
