NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, STARRING MICHAEL B. JORDAN, JAMIE FOXX, AND
BRIE LARSON.
A NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, BOSTON GLOBE, ESQUIRE, AND TIME BOOK
OF THE YEAR.
A #1 New York Times bestseller, this is a powerful, true story about
the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix
America’s broken justice system, as seen in the HBO documentary True
Justice.
The US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world. One in every
15 people born there today is expected to go to prison. For black men
this figure rises to one in 3. And Death Row is disproportionately
black, too.
Bryan Stevenson grew up poor in the racially segregated South. His
innate sense of justice made him a brilliant young lawyer, and one of
his first defendants was Walter McMillian, a black man sentenced to die
for the murder of a white woman ― a crime he insisted he didn’t commit.
The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination,
startling racial inequality, and legal brinkmanship ― and transformed
his understanding of mercy and justice forever.
At once an unforgettable account of an idealistic lawyer’s coming of
age and a moving portrait of the lives of those he has defended, Just
Mercy is an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of justice.
