In the eight decades since, debate has raged about the fate of the Italian immigrants said to have been railroaded for the murders of two payroll clerks. Were they innocent? Guilty? Was one guilty and the other innocent? Was justice served, or was justice "crucified"? Sacco and Vanzetti were both active in anarchist causes, but such senseless killings tied to a petty robbery (later derided by Sacco as "a gunman job") didn't fit, regardless of whether one saw them as political revolutionaries or, as they would soon be memorialized by protesters around the world, as the "good shoemaker" (father and husband Sacco) and the "poor fish peddler" (Vanzetti). Compounding the initial dissonance of the charge, their trial was riddled with controversy, from witnesses who repeatedly changed their stories, to tampering with key ballistics evidence, to false evidence, to outright bias on the part of both judge and jury. The reality of Sacco and Vanzetti's innocence has been lost to history, but the fact remains that two Italian immigrant anarchists were not going to get a fair trial in provincial Dedham, Massachusetts, in the early 1920s. In this first full~length narrative of the case in thirty years, writer Bruce Watson unwinds a gripping tale that opens with anarchist bombs going off in a posh Washington, D.C., neighborhood and concludes with worldwide outrage over the fates of these two men.The riveting true story of one of the nation's most infamous trials and executions, Sacco and Vanzetti mines deep archives and new sources, unveiling fresh details and fleshing out the two men as naïve dreamers and militant revolutionaries. Authoritative and engrossing, Sacco and Vanzetti is the most complete history of a case that still haunts the American imagination., Books<
