In the Clutches of the Law: Clarence Darrow's Letters Tapa dura - 2013
de Clarence Darrow; Randall Tietjen (Editor)
Descripción de contraportada
"Clarence Darrow was an American original: at once idealistic and pragmatic, a hopeful reformer and a hopeless determinist; revered and reviled. In this first-ever comprehensive compilation of Darrow's wide-ranging personal correspondence, we learn the private side of America's most celebrated lawyer. This remarkable collection will deepen our understanding of a near-legendary figure."--Edward J. Larson, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion
"This is one of the three best books on Clarence Darrow ever published. It stands with the Arthur Weinberg collection of Darrow's courtroom speeches and Darrow's autobiography. Tietjen has not only collected letters that provide insight into Darrow's life and character; he has provided commentary and narrative context that make this book a joy to read."--Michael E. Tigar, lawyer, Emeritus Professor of Law, Washington College of Law and Duke University
"As this exceptional collection of newly discovered letters shows so well, Clarence Darrow fought for free speech and civil liberties when few other lawyers dared raise their voices. Randall Tietjen combines impeccable scholarship, legal expertise and a passion for his subject. The result is an informative, entertaining book that shows Darrow in all of his dimensions. A major, stunning resource."--Marion Elizabeth Rodgers, author of Mencken: The American Iconoclast
