In "No Crueler Tyrannies, " Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
Dorothy Rabinowitz re-frames the facts, reconsiders the evidence,
and demystifies the proceedings of some of America's most harrowing
cases of failed justice. Recalling the hysteria that accompanied
the child sex-abuse witch-hunts of the 1980s and 1990s,
Rabinowitz's investigative study brings to life such alarming
examples of prosecutorial terrors as the case against New Jersey
nursery school worker Kelly Michaels, absurdly accused of 280
counts of sexual assault; the as-yet-unfinished story of Gerald
Amirault's involvement in the Fells Acres scandal; Patrick Griffin,
a respected physician whose life and reputation were destroyed by
one false accusation of molestation; and Miami policeman Grant
Snowden's sentencing of five consecutive life terms for a crime
that, as proved in court eleven years later, he did not commit.
By turns a shocking expose, a much-needed postmortem, and a
required-reading assignment for prosecutors and judges alike, "No
Crueler Tyrannies" is ultimately an inspiring book about the
courage of ordinary citizens who believe in the American judicial
system enough to fight for due process.
Elie Wiesel, Lucy Dawidowicz, Dorothy Rabinowitz, and Robert McAfee
Brown explore society's inability to comprehend the horrors of the

Lefkovitz, educational consultant for the Holocaust Memorial
Foundation of Illinois, this edition contains extensive
documentation of ideas and facts that have surfaced since the
book's first appearance in 1977.
