ABSTRACT
The most substantial study coming out against Sacco and Vanzetti is Robert Montgomery's The Murder and the Myth ('the 5acco-Vanzetti Myth is the greatest lie of them all'). This moves carefully over all the major particulars of the case - the identification, the alibis, the bullet, Sacco's cap - and agrees with the jury's decision. What it lacks utterly is any sense of the politics of the case, any feel for what it was like to be an Italian anarchist in that America, how others might see you and how you might behave.
