Five Stars Van Dorn This book profoundly shaped my views on society and justice as a young boy. Timeless and moving.. Valuable Has transcripts of many of his closing arguments. He was a great philosopher, not only a lawyer. A worthy read. I lend it to others, and never get it back, so I have to constantly buy new copies of the book.. Mr. Arnold W. Shunneson said If this guy isnt your hero he should be.. Book is stunning. Makes you realize that language used to be more valued. The guy was amazing simply amazing.
"Clarence Darrow was perhaps the most effective courtroom opponent of cant, bigotry, and special privilege that our country has produced. All of Darrow's most celebrated pleas are here--in defense of Leopold and Loeb (1924), of Lieutenant Massie (1932), of Big Bill Haywood (1907), of Thomas Scopes (1925), and of himself for attempted bribery."--The New Yorker
