Sommario/riassunto |
|
A group of 20 Irish immigrants, suspected of comprising a secret terrorist organization called the ""Molly Maguires"", were executed in Pennsylvania in the 1870's for the murder of 16 men. This work offers a new interpretation of their dramatic story, tracing the origins of the group. |
