Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good+. First Edition First Printing. Impeccable research by a magazine reporter & writer takes you behind the headlines into the life & crimes--both alleged & proven--of Caryl Chessman, who was executed after a 12-year prison stay at San Quentin for being the "Red Light Bandit," a robber/serial rapist/kidnapper who preyed on couples in cars in & around Los Angeles, CA, in the 1940s. His execution paved the way for the movement to abolish the death penalty in that state. This scarce title painstakingly reexamines the case & comes to "shocking conclusions" about the crime, the state, the press, the police, & the courts. In 321 pages + 16 pages of black-and-white photos. A FIRST EDITION, first printing, from 1961, this 8vo is in Fine condition: exceptionally clean, binding strong & straight, hinges secure.
