Reviews for Sacco and Vanzetti: The Anarchist Background
"[Avrich] uses Italian sources to situate Sacco and Vanzetti within the immigrant anarchist culture they devoted their lives to advancing. This emphasis differentiates his book from those that preceded it and constitutes his signal achievement... In placing Sacco and Vanzetti in this anarchist movement, Avrich greatly expands our understanding of them and their circle."
