The Leo Frank Case together with The Tennessean Special News Section Sunday March 7, 1982 w/ introduction by Alan M. Dershowitz

The Leo Frank Case, originally published in 1968 by Leonard Dinnerstein, remains a definitive historical account of the 1913 murder of Mary Phagan and the subsequent trial and lynching of Leo Frank. This 1991 edition was issued by the Notable Trials Library, a specialty publishing house focused on reissuing classic legal texts in high-quality, bonded leather-bound formats. By including this title in their series, the publisher aimed to preserve a significant piece of American jurisprudence for scholars and legal enthusiasts, providing a durable physical record of one of the most polarizing and tragic cases in Southern legal history.

This specific volume is notable for its inclusion of an introduction by attorney Alan M. Dershowitz, who contextualizes the trial within the broader scope of American civil rights and legal prejudice. The accompanying 1982 special news section from The Tennessean provides essential primary source material, documenting how the press revisited the legacy of the case nearly seventy years later. Together, the book and the newspaper supplement offer a comprehensive look at how the case was litigated, reported, and eventually re-evaluated by historians in the late twentieth century.
