Sommario/riassunto

The Trial of the Haymarket Anarchists is the culmination of seven years of research into the 1886 Haymarket bombing and subsequent trial. It not only overturns the prevailing consensus on this event, it documents



in detail how the basic facts, as far as they can be determined, have been distorted, obscured, or suppressed for seventy years.
