The Bomb

Viac o knihe

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.
