Sacco and Vanzetti

Wednesday, August 29, 2007

Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti are among the most famous political martyrs of 20th-century America. Convicted of robbery and murder, these two Italian immigrants and anarchists were executed in 1927. In Sacco and Vanzetti, Bruce Watson details the facts of the case and why public sentiment turned against these two men.

Sacco and Vanzetti is available for purchase at amazon.com

    Woody Guthrie famously summarized Sacco & Vanzetti's defense in several songs - can your guest comment on that?

    peter Miller's new film "Sacco & Vanzetti" is also available on DVD now and does a good retelling of the story.
