The single most famous lynching in American history remains that of
Leo Frank, a Jewish factory superintendent in Atlanta, convicted in
1913 of murdering Mary Phagan, a 13-year-old girl in his employ.
Despite national publicity on his behalf, a lynch mob killed Frank two
years later. The case made and broke careers, sparked both the
Anti-Defamation League and the resurgent Ku Klux Klan, and fanned
Southern anti-Semitism and Jewish racism. ''And the Dead Shall Rise,''
Steve Oney's overlong, occasionally dramatic (and melodramatic),
exceptionally detailed first book, recounting the trial and its
aftermath, helps us appreciate the enduring fascination of this case.
