From dust jacket notes: "This is the story of the Chicago anarchists who were found guilty of inciting the Haymarket Riot in 1886. But did they conspire to commit murder, and did they throw the bomb that killed eight policemen and wounded sixty? Governor Altgeld of Illinois thought not and pardoned the two survivors in 1892. 'The Bomb will give you a glimpse of an odd and moving and disturbing, and fortunately fairly unique, episode in Chicago's history,' writes John Dos Passos in a new Introduction to this famous novel by Frank Harris, which Dos Passos further believes might well be classed as an early form of the 'proletarian' novel. The Bomb is the first-person account of Rudolph Schnaubelt, the man who disappeared, the man who may have thrown the bomb. In an Afterword, Harris confesses that the character of Schnaubelt and his love story are purely imaginary, but for the rest he kept as close to fact as he could. 'In 1907 I paid a visit to America and spent some time in Chicago...studying contemporary newspaper accounts of the tragedy. I came to the conclusion that six out of seven men punished in Chicago were as innocent as I was, and that four of them had been murdered - according to law.'..."
