This is the first paperback edition of a moving appraisal of the infamous Haymarket bombing (May 1886) and the trial that followed it--a trial that was a cause celebre in the 1880s and that has since been recognized as one of the most unjust in the annals of American jurisprudence. Paul Avrich shows how eight anarchists who were blamed for the bombing at a workers' meeting near Chicago's Haymarket Square became the focus of a variety of passionately waged struggles.

The Haymarket Tragedy
Probably the best general history of the Haymarket events. Avrich does an excellent job putting the events into the context of a militant anarchist movement that existed in Chicago and nationally in the 1880s. Unlike some other historians, he doesn't sanitize the anarchists' views to make them seem innocent, nor does he portray them as crazed revolutionaries. He also takes a very nuanced approach to the events and the people involved, showing the differences in views that existed within the anarchist movement and even within the Haymarket martyrs themselves.
