The Black Flag (Routledge Revivals): A look back at the strange case of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti

By Brian Jackson

Book Overview

First published in 1981, this book reassesses the case of Sacco and Vanzetti, two Italian immigrant anarchists living in Boston in 1920 that were accused of a payroll robbery and the murder of two guards for which they were arrested and, after a long trial based on inadequate and prejudiced evidence, executed in 1927. In 1977, the Commonwealth of Massachusettes issued a proclamation which acknowledged a miscarriage of justice.
