and the Judgment of Mankind by Bruce Watson is a very interesting recount of one of the most famous trials in American history. Sacco and Vanzetti were anarchists in a time of "Red" scares, immediately after World War I. They were accused of having committed murder in the commission of an armed robbery and spent 7 years on Massachusetts' death row. The story of the trial and the prejudices of the era still reverberate in American history.

Sacco and Vanzetti: The Men, The Murders, and the Judgment of Mankind is a well-written account of the trial and the times, and a fascinating look at the years immediately following World War I in America. The Sacco and Vanzetti trial involved the passions of such persons as H.L. Mencken, Upton Sinclair, and John Dos Passos.

The ebook is available from Sony eBook Store ($18.16), Fictionwise ($16 [reg], $13.60 [club]), and Books on Board ($23.36 [$20.56 rewards]).
