1920s America was at peace at home and abroad but issues facing the
nation were highlighted by a series of trials including baseball's
Black Sox, Al Capone, John T. Scopes, Sacco and Vanzetti, Leopold
and Loeb, and the court martial of Billy Mitchell. Americans will
find this book on trials of the Roaring Twenties" provocative.
Great Trials begins with an extensive introduction describing the
setting" of that tumultuous decade, and follows with an in-depth
examination of 10 trials, touching on nearly every facet of
American life. Each case is a fascinating story, and the fierce
jousts in these courtrooms impart to the reader both how different
things once were, and how much the nature of argumentative
individuals has remained exactly the same.
