The Last Trials of Clarence Darrow 1st edition

?Wonderfully evocative? Donald McRae captures the Great Defender in all his complexity.... A joy to read.? ? Kevin Boyle, National Book Award-winning author of Arc of Justice

"Astonishingly vivid." ?James Tobin, Award-winning author of Ernie Pyle?s War

The story of the three dramatic trials that resurrected the life and career of America?s most colorful?and controversial?defense attorney: Clarence Darrow. Many books, plays, and movies have covered Darrow and the trials of Leopold and Loeb, John T. Scopes, and Ossian Sweet before: Geoffrey Cowan?s The People v. Clarence Darrow; Simon Baatz?s For the Thrill of It; Kevin Boyle?s Arc of Justice; Meyer Levin?s Compulsion and the film adaptation of the same name; Inherit the Wind; but few, if any, have achieved the intimacy and immediacy of Donald McRae?s The Great Trials of Clarence Darrow.
