Summary
A Netflix limited series dramatizing the unlikely intersecting lives of James A. Garfield, the reluctant dark-horse candidate who became the 20th U.S. President, and Charles Guiteau, the delusional office-seeker who stalked and ultimately shot him in 1881. Based on Candice Millard's book Destiny of the Republic, it traces Garfield's rise, Guiteau's spiral, and the political corruption surrounding the assassination.
