On April 15, 1920, five bandits robbed and killed a paymaster and
his guard in a Boston suburb. The police charged Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti with the crime. They were local immigrant
workers associated with a detested anarchist group. A year later, a
jury convicted Sacco and Vanzetti of murder during a period of
anti-communist hysteria in America. They were executed after six
years of failed appeals, despite proven misconduct by prosecutors
and the judge and a confessed participant in the crime who swore
that the two Italians were not involved. Worldwide protests
erupted. Millions claimed the two were framed and executed for
their political beliefs.Author Ted Grippo takes the reader through
the trial, disclosing and examining new documents and other
recently discovered evidence supporting a conspiracy to frame Sacco
and Vanzetti. While the debate over their guilt may continue for
some, "With Malice Aforethought" will end the argument for many.* *

justice system that resulted in the conviction and execution of
Sacco and Vanzetti." -Greg Jones, former First Assistant US
Attorney"An important story revealing the treatment of Italian
immigrants in 1920s America."-Bill Dal Cerro, President, Italic
