Rebel and a CauseCaryl Chessman and the Politics of the Death Penalty in Postwar California, 1948-1974: Caryl Chessman and the Politics of the Death Penalty in Postwar California, 1948-1974
This book uses the 1960 execution of Caryl Chessman as a lens for examining how politics and debates about criminal justice became a volatile mix that ignited postwar California.
