Weaponized mail has a long and sinister history, spanning two centuries and involving a wide range of individuals and groups. This book offers the first comprehensive exploration of this phenomenon, revealing the history of postal bombs and the evolution of both explosives and the postal services that facilitated their deadly use. From the eighteenth-century incident involving Jonathan Swift to modern acts of terror by groups like the IRA and the Suffragettes and lone wolves such as the Unabomber, the book uncovers the surprising ubiquity of mail bombs. The chronological account meticulously covers each decade, from early anarchists and world wars through the Cold War to the rise of the serial bomber. Astounding in scope, this book sheds light on the psychopathy, motivations, and political implications behind murder by mail.
