In Fear and Fury, Thompson revisits the 1984 New York City subway shooting involving Bernhard Goetz and examines how the case helped fuel a wider national debate over race, crime, and vigilantism. The book draws on extensive archival material, interviews, legal files, and contemporary reporting to reframe a pivotal moment in modern American history.
Thompson is best known for Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy, which earned the Pulitzer Prize, and she writes frequently on criminal justice issues for major national outlets.
