CAMPAIGN OF TERROR reveals the beginning of the Unabomber's campaign of terror from 1978 to 1985, and delves into his childhood to discover what might have made a young mathematical genius with few friends into a sociopathic terrorist. CAMPAIGN OF TERROR also tells the story of how the Unabomber began to ramp up his terror campaign from 1985 to 1993, claiming his first murder and taunting his FBI pursuers. His secret journals from his time as a grad student in Michigan reveal the extraordinary moment when Kaczynski's thoughts first turned to murder.
CAPTURE AND CONVICTION tells the story of 1993 to 1996, when the Unabomber was holding America to ransom with a series of increasingly powerful bombs until his arrest in 1996. Kaczynski's brother and sister-in-law reveal the extraordinarily emotional story of how they came to suspect he was the Unabomber which ultimately led to his arrest. CAPTURE AND CONVICTION also tells the story of Kaczynski's trial, with the revelation that as a teenaged student in Harvard he was subjected to a secret psychological experiment, which some claim could have been responsible for turning him into the terrorist he became.
