[in] National Review: A Journal of Fact and Opinion; Vol. XI, no.16 (October 21, 1961) Publication: New York: The National Review, 1961 Description: Single quarto issue in staple-bound printed wrappers; pp.251-282. Text paper slightly toned, else a clean, Near Fine copy in the original wrappers. A celebrated article by Eastman, at this point in his career a committed Buckleyite and neocon, following a legendary early career as the intellectual standard-bearer for American socialism. In this piece, clearly written as a teaser for Eastman's planned book (never published) on the Sacco & Vanzetti case, Eastman divulges that in 1941, shortly before his death, the Italian-American anarchist Carlo Tresca had asserted privately to him that Nicola Sacco was in fact guilty of murder, but that Vanzetti was innocent. The claim, published here for the first time, gave rise to a wave of new investigative works on the case, and cast a shadow on the Left's long-standing sympathy for the Martyrs of Dedham (who, regardless of the questions surrounding their guilt or innocence, were without question the victims of a corrupt and prejudicial prosecution).
