Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage

Heather Ann Thompson

in conversation with Summer Lacey

In partnership with ACLU of Southern California

Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Heather Ann Thompson is joined by ACLU of Southern California’s criminal justice director Summer Lacey to chat about Thompsons’ new book Fear and Fury: The Reagan Eighties, the Bernie Goetz Shootings, and the Rebirth of White Rage. Shedding new light on the social and political conditions which set the stage for the infamous New York subway shooting of 1984, Thompson masterfully explores a throughline that connects Goetz to “the America of President Donald Trump.” This comprehensive telling of historical events provides another perspective as we consider the issues gripping our nation today.


“Written with heart and precision, Fear and Fury captures New York at its breaking point and traces how a city’s panic became a nation’s policy. It’s an extraordinary act of witness and understanding, alive on every page with urgency and truth.” —Gilbert King, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove
