The Great Trials of Clarence Darrow: The Landmark Cases of Leopold and Loeb, John T. Scopes, and Ossian Sweet

â€œWonderfully evocativeâ€¦ Donald McRae captures the Great Defender in all his complexity.... A joy to read.â€ â€” Kevin Boyle, National Book Award-winning author of Arc of Justice
"Astonishingly vivid." â€”James Tobin, Award-winning author of Ernie Pyleâ€™s War
The story of the three dramatic trials that resurrected the life and career of Americaâ€™s most colorfulâ€”and controversialâ€”defense attorney: Clarence Darrow. Many books, plays, and movies have covered Darrow and the trials of Leopold and Loeb, John T. Scopes, and Ossian Sweet before: Geoffrey Cowanâ€™s The People v. Clarence Darrow; Simon Baatzâ€™s For the Thrill of It; Kevin Boyleâ€™s Arc of Justice; Meyer Levinâ€™s Compulsion and the film adaptation of the same name; Inherit the Wind; but few, if any, have achieved the intimacy and immediacy of Donald McRaeâ€™s The Great Trials of Clarence Darrow.
