Great Trials of Clarence Darrow

<p>Wonderfully evocative... Donald McRae captures the Great Defender in all his complexity.... A joy to read. -- Kevin Boyle National Book Award-winning author of <em>Arc of Justice</em> </p><p>Astonishingly vivid. --James Tobin Award-winning author of <em>Ernie Pyle's War</em> </p><p>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 <em>The People v. Clarence Darrow</em>; Simon Baatz's <em>For the Thrill of It</em>; Kevin Boyle's <em>Arc of Justice</em>; Meyer Levin's <em>Compulsion</em> and the film adaptation of the same name; <em>Inherit the Wind</em>; but few if any have achieved the intimacy and immediacy of Donald McRae's <em>The Great Trials of Clarence Darrow</em>.</p>
