Country Lawyer

From rural America to President Franklin Roosevelt’s inner circle, a country lawyer defends the enduring principles of American democracy, at home and abroad. This compelling portrait of Robert H. Jackson— the plain-spoken attorney who rose from obscurity to become U.S. Attorney General, U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and Chief American Prosecutor of Nazi War criminals at Nuremberg— provides a chilling and relevant reminder about the rule of law and the never-ending battle for fairness and justice for all.
