"A valuable and unsentimental account of a salient episode in labor and leftist history."—American Historical Review
"Timothy Messer-Kruse convincingly argues that the Haymarket bombing of 1886 was a conspiracy devised by elements of the Chicago anarchist movement. This even-keeled analysis is a welcome addition to the study of anarchism." —Tom Goyens, author of Beer and Revolution: German Anarchists in New York City, 1880–1914"Thorough and detailed. . . . recommended."—Choice
"Scholars must rethink the interior history of the Chicago anarchists in light of Messer-Kruse's revelations."—Register of the Kentucky Historical Society
Very interesting, and extremely controversial: ... It is hard to dispute Messer-Kruse's evidence."—International Review of Social History
"Messer-Kruse has done an immense amount of research for this book and includes a useful explanation of how Chicago anarchists were highly influenced by "propaganda by the deed" European anarchists."—The Journal of American History
