Invitation to a Lynching by Gene Miller - 1975

First Edition, 1975. Doubleday hard cover in fine condition, in near fine dust jacket with imprint of writing on front that can be seen in certain light, protected in clear, archival polyester cover. 324 tight, clean pages. This is a dramatic and controversial book in which the pursuit of justice and the workings of the American judicial system are shown as leading not necessarily to the same end. Mr. Miller chronicles the desperate plight of two black men held in a white sheriff's jail, the "confession," the "trial", and the bizarre legal tactics taken to keep them in prison.
