"If you want an insanely thorough look at the Haymarket affair, this is the book for you. I think I would have liked it more if it hadn't been so detailed, but part of me appreciates all the little facts being crammed in one book.
I was however disappointed in two things. 1) The way Avrich plays into some of the anarchists' defense of "we're innocent victims," and 2) the way Avrich referes to a lot of the female anarchists. I'm usually able to acknowledge subtle mysogany in some writers, and move on and getting at their other ideas. But it was just so repetitive the way Avrich would almost always refere to Albert Parsons "and his wife" over and over again, while Albert Parsons wife, Lucy Parsons, is in my opinion, a much more inspiring person than Albert. William Holmes overshadows his sister Lizzie - I suppose just the usual prioritization of some women to their perceived male counterparts. The victimization of the anarchists was also dissapointing after reading Sacco and Vanzetti: The Anarchist Background - a book written after The Haymarket Tragedy and one that does a superb job of debunking the myth of Sacco and Vanzetti being "innocent victims."
I overall did like this book very much, I think I just have unfair standards for Avrich.
