Description
Book Synopsis"A definitive history of the case...notable alike for its clarity and its fairness...Professors Joughin and Morgan conclude that Sacco and Vanzetti were the victims of a sick society, in which prejudice, chauvinism, hysteria, and malice were endemic. Few who will read this moving work will doubt that they have proved their point."--The New York Tim
