"Vividly describes an important but often neglected chapter in American history. It is not a pretty story. War usually breeds excesses, domestic as well as foreign, and World War I was no exception. As usual, the chief victims were the strangers within the gates - the aliens, radicals, minorities and dissenters... The period of the Palmer raids should be pondered as an example of the worst in American history."
