The streets of New York City and seven other metropolises were awash with chaos as a series of coordinated bombings rocked the nation. On the night of June 2, 1919, at least 10 explosions shattered the quiet, claiming one life in New York and another in Washington D.C. The brutal attacks sent shockwaves through the government, imperiling Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer and his wife in their Washington home.
