Reviews for The Chicago Conspiracy Trial and the Press
“In his new book, The Chicago Conspiracy Trial And The Press, published by Palgrave/MacMillan Books, author Nick Sharman looks at how mainstream newspapers portrayed the trial. … this 250-page hardcover is obviously aimed at college libraries, academics and the like, but well worth seeking out for scholars of the era.” (Pat Thomas, Nightflight, nightflight.com, July, 2016)
