This book places the 1916 San Francisco Preparedness Day Bombing
within the broader context of American radicalism and
isolationism during the Progressive Era. A concise narrative and
key primary documents offer readers an introduction to this
episode of domestic violence and the subsequent, sensationalized
trial that followed. The dubious conviction of a local labor
organizer raised serious questions about political extremism,
pluralistic ideals, and liberty in the United States that
continue to resonate in the twenty-first century.
