About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Tragedy in Dedham: The Story of the Sacco-Vanzetti Case by Francis Russell. Read in English by Ciufi Galeazzi. The Sacco and Vanzetti trial was one of the most divisive events of 1920's America. As Russell writes, " If one was middle class and Republican...one thought Sacco and Vanzetti guilty. But if one was a university liberal, one tended to think the trial unfair..." In this book, historical author Francis Russell brings the participants and events of this tragic drama to life. The book received the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime in 1963. - Summary by Ciufi Galeazzi
