More about the book

Following the Haymarket affair of 1886, August Spies and seven other anarchists were tried and sentenced to death for their alleged involvement in the bombing. This book provides a detailed account of the trial, including court transcripts and newspaper articles. Hunt argues that the trial was a political and legal farce, and that the men were unjustly convicted.
