First published in 1981, this book reassesses the case of Sacco and
Vanzetti, two Italian immigrant anarchists living in Boston in
1920. The pair were accused of a payroll robbery and the murder of
two guards for which they were arrested and, after a long trial
based on inadequate and prejudiced evidence, executed in 1927. In
1977, on the fiftieth anniversary of their deaths, the Commonwealth
of Massachusettes issued a proclamation which acknowledged a
miscarriage of justice. The Black Flag provides an account of the
controversial trial and a re-evaluation of the celebrated case of
the Commonwealth's decision. Brian Jackson puts the trial in the
social context of the period and exposes the nature of anarchism by
looking at the lives of two of its exponents, resulting in a moving
exploration of a series of events that continue to trouble the
conscience of America.
