The celebrated barrister Geoffrey Robertson QC has been involved in
some of the most high-profile cases ever to come to a British
courtroom. Here, with a combination of wit and gravity, pace and
narrative style, he recounts some of the major cases that have come
to the national consciousness, including the highly amusing 'Oz'
trial, Mary Whitehouse's battle against the play The Romans in
Britain, and the attempts by the parents of soldiers caught in
friendly fire in the Gulf War to find justice. Throughout his
career, Robertson has fought for people's rights in the face of the
state system and his many struggles have included helping Vaclev
Havel in communist Czechoslovakia and Malcolm X on death row.
Enlightening and enjoyable, this is a fascinating insight into the
legal world by one of its finest and most dedicated practitioners.
