This collection of speeches by Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman provides a firsthand account of their trial before the United States District Court in New York in July 1917. The two anarchist activists were prosecuted for opposing US involvement in World War I and advocating for the overthrow of the government. The speeches provide insight into the radical politics of the era and the repression of dissent by the state. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of anarchism and political repression in the United States.
