The Devil on Trial: Witches, Anarchists, Atheists, Communists, andTerrorists in America's Courtrooms

Hardcover (Houghton Mifflin Books for Children Sept. 8, 2008)
Featuring five famous trials, this book examines the way our right to a fair trial can be threatened, when people are tempted to abandon their principles in the name of safety. Trials included are the Salem Witch Trials, the Haymarket Affair Trial, the Scopes “Monkey” Trial, the trial of Alger Hiss, and the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui—the latter not yet covered extensively in any book.
