Excellent history of this historic case. I feel a special tie to it, since I am originally from southeastern Massachusetts, where the events took place. With the present political debate in progress, especially about the Patriot Act, it is recommended reading for people today, particularly young people. I have a feeling we are going to be hearing a reference to this case, and Tragedy In Dedham is a well-balanced account.
