In this classic novel of revolutionary struggle, seven men are accused of throwing a bomb during a protest and killing policemen. Only one is guilty. Author Frank Harris, inspired by the true-life events of the Haymarket Riot in Chicago, offers a scathing criticism of capitalism and the inequalities of the American justice system in this novel that continues to inspire those involved in the movement to smash the hierarchical structure of the state, ending oppression for all time. The Bomb is a searing, radical portrait, a window into past events that provides insight into the current cultural strife.
