About this book
Upton Sinclair's powerful documentary novel dramatizes the notorious Sacco and Vanzetti case—the trial and execution of two Italian immigrant anarchists whose conviction for murder became an international cause célèbre and a symbol of injustice. Weaving fact and fiction, Sinclair exposes the prejudice, fear, and legal failures of 1920s America through the eyes of a wealthy Boston woman drawn into the case. Passionate and meticulously researched, it is one of the great American protest novels and a searing indictment of a miscarriage of justice. Ambitious and moving, Boston stands among Sinclair's finest works, a monumental fusion of storytelling and social conscience.
