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. |
