This psychological study of corrupt leadership and mob rule was read as a parable about fascism when it first appeared. Set in Nevada in 1885, the story concerns the brutal lynching of three characters falsely accused of murder and theft. It details how the strong-willed leader of the lynch mob, Major Tetley, easily manipulates the suppressed resentment and boredom of the townspeople." (Brittanica). The novel was adapted in 1943 into a movie starring Henry Fonda. HBS 68764. $2,500. N° de réf. du vendeur 68764
