Book Reviews of Sacco and Vanzetti: The Men, the Murders, and the Judgment of Mankind
Book Review: Extraordinary
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an amazing true story that simultaneously broke my heart and angered me. Anyone who is interested in the history of our country, and in particular the way immigrants were treated, should read this book. Beautifully written and meticulously researched, the author paints a very vivid picture of the 1920's and the "Red Scare" that was really behind the arrest and conviction of Sacco and Vanzetti. The injustice of their story is quite shocking. The best part of the book is the personal way you get to know Sacco and Vanzetti - their strength and humanity are extraordinary. If you don't have a tear in your eye when you read Sacco's letter to his son Dante on the eve of his execution - you're not human. Needless to say, I highly recommend this book.
