First edition, in the scarce deluxe binding, of this self-serving account by the Chicago police captain who served as the lead investigator in the aftermath of the Haymarket bombing and subsequent trials. On 4 May 1886, a bomb was thrown at police during a labour protest against the killing of several workers. Seven police officers were killed, and in response, seven anarchists were sentenced to death. The event is generally credited as the origin of International Workers' Day. It led to a red scare in America, with mass public support for the police and fears of an anarchist threat to the country. Schaack's book was a product of and fuelled this scare. It details the anarchist ideology and the threat of its proponents. It also serves as Schaack's self-justification - he was dismissed from the force for fabricating evidence in the investigation and here vindicates himself. A cloth trade binding was also issued.
