All the Right Enemies: The Life and Murder of Carlo Tresca is a 1988 biography of Italian–American anarchist Carlo Tresca by Dorothy Gallagher.
The New York Review of Books called All the Right Enemies a "cool, almost laconic, recital", and wrote "it reads like an inspired police report. Yet her restraint serves to enhance the violence and passion of the events she recounts."
All the Right Enemies has also been reviewed by Publishers Weekly, Italian Americana magazine, Kirkus Reviews, Commentary, Dissent, Washington Monthly, The Nation, and The Journal of American History.
It was a 1988 New York Times Notable Book of the Year.
This first biography of Tresca is levelheaded and exhaustively researched.
Gallagher's own efforts to include gossip, love affairs, emotional states all fall flat. All the details are here, but they never crystallize into a compelling story until the book's shorter second part, the unraveling of Tresca's murder. In all, a stolid, reportorial history.
A first-class book, extraordinarily well researched
