Acclaimed Chatham Author Details Latest Novel at Morristown Festival of Books

Bryan Burrough knows a thing or two about writing several books.

But if his presentation at Morristown’s Festival of Books on Saturday, Oct. 3, was any indication of the success of his newest work, “Days of Rage,” he may have just penned his best book yet.

Burrough, of Chatham, spoke to a full house at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church at the Festival, according to morristowngreen.com, outlining the depth of his latest work.

“Days of Rage” is Burrough’s sixth work, with “The Big Rich,” “Public Enemies,” “Barbarians at the Gate,” a New York Times bestseller; “Vendetta,” and “Dragonfly” preceding it.

Burrough, a 1983 University of Missouri School of Journalism graduate, currently works as a special correspondent for Vanity Fair and was a reporter for the Wall Street Journal for nearly a decade.

“Days of Rage” is a 500-plus-page dive into “America’s radical underground, the FBI, and the forgotten age of revolutionary violence,” according to its own description.

The book is published through Penguin Press.
