About this product

Product Information

Steve Oney chronicles a still harrowing chapter in American history with the skill of an investigative journalist and the insight of a historian. In 1913, thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan's body was found bludgeoned, raped, murdered, and dumped in the basement of the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked. The Jewish, Cornell-educated Leo Frank was accused and convicted of the crime, but when his death sentence was commuted, a group of prominent Georgians kidnapped and lynched him. In narrating this grim episode, Oney sheds new light on the murders of both Phagan and Frank, and provides essential information on events that helped revive the Ku Klux Klan and led to the establishment of the Anti-Defamation League.

Reviews
"A work of sympathetic imagination that invites comparison to Norman Mailer'sExecutioner's Song.The book packs a wallop at many levels, from the mythic Southern characters to the violent infrastructure of our cultural memory." --Theodore Rosengarten,The New York TImes "[Oney] tells this fascinating and complex true-crime story in impressively thorough detail . . . Oney's definitive account is a major achievement." -- David J. Garrow,The Los Angeles Times "Steve Oney's brilliant narrative shows why, 90 years later, the tale of murder and revenge in Georgia still has the capacity to fascinate, provoking the classical responses to tragedy: pity, awe, and sorrow without end." -- Shelby Coffey III,Washington POst Book World "Steve Oney's epicAnd the Dead Shall Riseis a book I've been waiting my whole life to read. I was born in Atlanta, and used to hear my mother and grandmother argue for the innocence of Leo Frank against all comers. This book is a tragedy and a triumph and a wonder, all at the same time." --Pat Conroy, author ofThe Prince of Tides "A superb work of true crime -- and an altogether remarkable exercise in what might be called judicial archaeology." --Kirkus Reviews(starred) "This is the book on the Leo Frank case I had been waiting for and one the reading public needs. I am struck by the narrative skill and ingenuity. For the first time I understand the full ironies, paradoxes, and horrors of this tragedy. I found the book difficult to put down." -- C. Vann Woodward, author ofThe Strange Career of Jim Crow

and the dead shall rise
for those out there who are interested in the mary phagan murder case and the subsequent trial and lynching of leo frank, this book is the ULTIMATE. i have read several books on the case, but steve oney's book tops them all! it put you in atlanta, georgia in 1913, with all the period detail, all of the courtroom drama is there in spades. the case was appealed all the way to the us supreme court. leo frank,s death sentence was commuted by the governor, but frank was lynched by a mob, they called themselves the knights of mary phagan. right after the lynching, the ku klux klan reemerged at stone mountain georgia. anyway, i dont want to spoil it for anyone. let me just say, the book is a fantastic read!!

And the Dead Shall Rise" was an awesome book read!
this book was so good. I could not put it down. It really made me want to delve deeper into why this horrible event happened. This story of Mr. Leo Frank was such a tragedy. The injustice over this whole event left me in a state of shock! Also, the reader will be aghast over the prejudices and ignorance of people even when presented with truth. I cried when I was done reading. Highly recommended.
