The Trial of Sacco and Vanzetti: A Primary Source Account

by Kerry Hinton

This book tells the controversial story of two anarchist immigrants who were tried for robbery and murder. Using primary source documents and excerpts from court transcripts, the book provides background on Sacco and Vanzetti's association with anarchism, the trial that many believe was prejudiced against the immigrants, the verdict, the desperate, lengthy appeals process, the executions, and the trial's impact on the American dream.
