Publisher's Synopsis
Bartolomeo Vanzetti - an Italian immigrant, famous anarchist and victim of legal persecution and xenophobia - learned to write in English while jailed for a capital crime. What is even more astonishing is that he chose to use his new language skills to write creatively, inventing a parable about worker exploitation and environmental disaster that is as relevant today as it was almost 100 years ago. In a time of assault on immigrants, dissidents, radicals, and the environment, Events and Victims is as pertinent as ever.
