A truly fascinating life. I loved all the stories of the events that came to define him. Great book for those who like reading about interesting and influential people.
A larger than life book for a larger than life figure. I had known about Darrow from the Scopes Monkey trial, but the chapter on the Sweet trial was absolutely fascinating.
A former corporate advocate turned a friend of labor. A champion of progressivism. A supporter of civil rights. A hearld of civil liberties. A nemesis of the death penalty. And the hero of the Scopes Monkey Trial. Clarence Darrow was all these things and more, and this book goes through all of the famous (and not-so-famous) cases of his career, and some of the other aspects of his life.
