An Assassin's Diary
An Assassin's Diary was the title of a book released in the mid-1970s which purported to tell the story of Arthur Bremer, the would-be assassin of Alabama Governor George Wallace. Bremer shot Wallace at a shopping mall in Laurel, Maryland while Wallace was making his second campaign for President in 1972. In the book, Bremer states that he was not particularly opposed to Wallace's political agenda, which many had branded as white supremacist, but that his primary motive was to become famous, and that he had also stalked President Richard M. Nixon. Bremer's intelligence and education were quite limited; the book was largely authored by a ghost writer.
