Summary:
Between 1940 and 1957, 33 bombs-strategically placed in Grand Central, Penn Station, Radio City Music Hall, Macy's and other populous areas of New York-paralyzed the city, sending shockwaves of fear through an unsuspecting public. George Metesky, the "Mad Bomber," unleashed a reign of terror that reverberated through America's social, legal, and political landscape, ultimately spurring the birth of modern criminal profiling when a crime psychiatrist was called in to assist in the manhunt.
