"Drawing on extensive research on two continents, Moshik Temkin
skillfully connects the Sacco-Vanzetti affair to how the wider
world was reacting to America's global supremacy and isolation
after World War I. . . . A well-written and absorbing read." Paula
Adamick, The Canada Post--Paula Adamick "The Canada Post ""
"Temkin explains why the legal and political campaign to save Sacco
and Vanzetti was more than just a battle against a judicial murder.
. . . As the United States rose to a position of unrivaled
industrial and financial prominence, the Sacco and Vanzetti affair
was a prism through which therest of the world might undertand the
newemerging global power." Fraser Ottanelli, The Journal of
American History--Fraser Ottanelli "Journal of American History
""
"Temkin's original contribution is to set the case of Sacco and
Vanzetti in international context, and he does so in engaging and
energetic fashion." Sarah Farmer, University of California,
Irvine
--Sarah Farmer"
Moshik Temkin has written an engaging book on the political impact
and debates spawned by the Sacco and Vanzetti affair. In a novel
way, he uses them to illuminate the deep socio-political and
cultural fissures in American life, which have remained enduring
over time. Jeremy Kuzmarov, History News Network
--Jeremy Kuzmarov "History News Network ""
Temkin is explaining. . . how the case of Sacco and Vanzetti
influenced this nation's transformation into a world power and
stimulated some of the important and ongoing debates about our role
in the world community. Barbara Berenson, Lawyer's Weekly--Barbara

This exemplary international history reveals for the first time the

This judicious study adds value to any historical debate on
transatlantic relations. It is a must for critical students of the
so-called American century in all its reaches. Tom Goyens, Labor:
Studies in Working-Class History of the Americas --Tom Goyens
"Labor Studies in Working-Class ""
This most recent study . . . surpasses all prior analyses of this
subject in terms of scope, erudition, and objectivity. Timely given
the contemporary attacks America faces abroad for its policies and
justice system, this signal study is worthy reading. Gilles Renaud,
Library Journal, starred review
--Gilles Renaud"Library Journal" (05/15/2009)"
What could possibly have united so many unlikely bedfellows in
support of a pair of radical anarchists? Why did Sacco and Vanzetti
attract so much attention given the much more widespread injustices
done to black Americans in the criminal justice system? Why did a
cause that gained so much national and international support
ultimately fail? And what does the case tell us about relations
between the United States and the rest of the world between the
wars? Moshik Temkin does a brilliant job answering these questions.
And in his answers, it turns out, lie the roots of the current
controversy over America s war on terror. David Cole, London Review
of Books
