1This book by the Russian-language American journalist Alexei Orlov refers to events of the 1830s and the following century of American history. Between 1840 and 1960, all American presidents elected in years that are multiples of 20 have been cursed by the Indian Chief Tecumseh and died in office, either by natural death or assassination. Orlov's book discusses the tragic lives of these presidents. The first of them, William Henry Harrison, was elected in 1840, and the last, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, in 1960. Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980, was severely wounded. George W. Bush, elected in 2000, narrowly avoided the fate of his bi-decennial predecessors. Has the Tecumseh curse lost its power in the 21-st century? No one knows. Let's not jump to conclusions before the forthcoming 2020 election.


Эта книга русскоязычного журналиста Алексея Орлова навеяна событиями 1830-х годов XIX века и последовавшей за ними более чем столетней историей Соединённых Штатов Америки. В течение этого периода все американские президенты, избранные в годы, кратные двадцати, становились жертвами проклятия индейского вождя Текумсе либо умирали на своем посту, либо были убиты. О судьбах этих президентов рассказывает книга Алексея Орлова. Первым был избранный в 1840 году Уильям Генри Гаррисон, последним - избранный в 1960-ом Джон Фитцджеральд Кеннеди. Рональд Рейган, избранный в 1980 году, был тяжело ранен. Джордж Буш, избранный в 2000 году, чудом избежал этой судьбы. Может быть, в новом столетии проклятие потеряло силу? Не будем спешить с ответом накануне предстоящих выборов 2020 года.
