This remarkable collection of the great attorney's writings reveals
why he was such a force in the court of law and in the court of
public opinion. Darrow turned to writing-essays, debates,
fiction-to influence a broader audience beyond the field of law.
Through his observations on such social issues as race, revolution,
labor, divorce, crime, war, and religion, and his estimates of men
and women, he became the attorney for the public conscience. His
beliefs, delivered with an urbane blending of wit, lawyer's logic,
satire, and sentiment, remain a part of our continuing social
philosophy. They are amply illustrated in this superb collection,
and remain strikingly pertinent today. "Fascinating....Whether
Darrow is condemning capital punishment, questioning immortality,
or extolling free trade, he is usually incisive, never boring, and
always unafraid of speaking his mind. A rare combination in his or
any other age."-William M. Kunstler, New York Times. "A fascinating
collection of Darrow's writings, showing the wide range and the
impact of his thinking on the American character."-Irving Stone.
