The riveting true story of one of the nation’s most infamous
trials and executions When the state of Massachusetts electrocuted Nicola Sacco
and Bartolomeo Vanzetti on August 23, 1927, it concluded one
of the most controversial legal cases in American history.
In the eight decades since, debate has raged over what was
probably a miscarriage of justice. In the first full-length narrative of the case in thirty
years, 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
execution of the “good shoemaker” and the “poor fish
peddler.” Sacco and Vanzetti mines deep archives and new
sources, unveiling fresh details about these naïve dreamers
and militant revolutionaries. This case still haunts the
American imagination. Authoritative and engrossing, Sacco
and Vanzetti will capture fans of true crime books and
everyone who enjoys riveting American history.
