商品簡介
The bulk of this volume consists of a reproduction of the court transcripts from the historically controversial 1927 Sacco and Vanzetti case, in which two Boston area immigrant anarchists were convicted and sentenced to death for their alleged role in a robbery and murder. The case generated worldwide outrage among leftists convinced the two were convicted more for their political beliefs than for any evidentiary guilt. That the case remains controversial is also demonstrated by the text, which includes discussion of the case by three generations of critics, in addition to other related documents.
