A Mob Intent On Death by Richard C. Cortner
The Execution of Willie Francis
This gripping narrative delves into the harrowing events surrounding the lynching of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager in early 20th-century Georgia, who was wrongfully accused of murdering a young girl. The book meticulously examines the trial's proceedings, the societal prejudices of the time, and the subsequent mob violence that led to Frank's tragic death. Through a detailed exploration of legal documents and personal accounts, it sheds light on the deep-seated anti-Semitism and miscarriage of justice that characterized this dark chapter in American history.
