On the Sacco and Vanzetti Case

Topp, Michael M. The Sacco and Vanzetti Case: A Brief History with Documents. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin's, 2004. pp. 200. Paperback.

I didn’t spend too much time on the documents here, instead focusing on the 50-page description of the major themes involved in the Sacco & Vanzetti trial. Topp’s writing of it is good, and the coverage is as balanced as it can possibly be. Sacco and Vanzetti’s fates were tragic and it’s important that we remember this enormous miscarriage of justice during the first Red Scare.
