“Considered as a piece of literature and logic [this is] the calmest, clearest, most incisive and most factual dissertation of all the hundreds of tracts, legal discussions, magazine articles and books ever composed on that stirring [Haymarket] case...also the most devastating and the most explosive in character, second only to the bomb itself for the concussion it produced upon those who read it.”
—Harry Barnard, author of Eagle Forgotten
