Taking the Stand: My Life in the Law

From Barnes & NobleOne might call Alan Dershowitz is a devoted friend of controversy. This very vocal and able legal advocate has, after all, defended O.J. Simpson, Patty Hearst, Mike Tyson, Leona Helmsley, and, most recently, Julian Assange. In Taking the Stand, he offers compelling briefs on his cases, his legal strategies, and changing philosophy on issues including free speech and censorship; abortion; firearms and the Second Amendment; civil rights; and science in the courtroom. Certain to attract rapt attention.





The New York Times Book Review
- Dahlia Lithwick
Dershowitz is at his best in his terse, elegantly argued chapters on doctrine, especially free speech, criminal law, human rights law and the death penalty.
