Title
The Great Canadian Sedition Trials: The Courts and the Winnipeg General Strike, 1919-1920
Abstract
Few occurrences in modern times have produced the social upheaval, fear, and hatred that were seen during the Red Scare of 1919. Few events have brought forth such a frenzy of mob action and intolerance, or can match the excitement and drama. One of life's coincidences led me to study one of the manifestations of the Red Scare: the trials that grew out of the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919. Their prominent place in Manitoba's legal history has made them deserving of the title "The Great Canadian Sedition Trials." --From author's prologue
