The Bomb

More about the book

Focusing on the judicial outcomes of the Haymarket Affair, the book delves into the fairness of the sentences handed down after the 1886 bombing during a labor demonstration in Chicago. Eight individuals were convicted of conspiracy, with seven facing death sentences and one receiving a 15-year prison term. Frank Harris, an influential Irish-American writer, provides a critical examination of these events, reflecting on the broader implications for justice and labor rights. His work is part of a larger literary legacy that includes various notable titles.
