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.
