Death by Lightning is a four-part limited series that brings to life the epic and largely forgotten story of James Garfield, the twentieth president of the United States, and his greatest admirer Charles Guiteau — the man who, once spurned by his hero, would come to assassinate him. Both came from nothing but would diverge on opposing paths to fame and infamy that were fated to collide in the most tragic, absurd and deeply American of ways. Based on Candice Millard’s NYT bestseller Destiny of the Republic.
