Attorney For The Damned

Edited by Arthur Weinberg. Foreword by Justice William O. Douglas. "Clarence Darrow: the words he spoke in his most crucial and daring hours as..." A compendium of some of Darrow's most famous addresses and summations, including Leopold and Loeb, the Scopes trial, his own bribery indictment in the McNamara case, and others. This early-sixties paperback yet again fails to avoid depicting Darrow as a judiciary bridge troll, but aside from some mild fading and spotting to the spine and a slightly weakened front hinge, this one's in pretty good shape, with an eminently midcentury design. Sits pretty straight, clean pages.
