Trade Review
"That Clarence Darrow was the great protagonist of that age, no one would deny.... In the present volume, Mr. Weinberg wisely permits him to speak for himself." (American Bar Association Journal) "All of Clarence Darrow's most celebrated pleas are here.... As Justice William O. Douglas observes in an appreciative foreword, 'His arguments are a full orchestration carrying great power in cold print' - despite, it might be added, their homespun, gallus-hitching style. The ghastly comedy of his deadpan interrogation of William Jennings Bryan on the origin of man in the Scopes case is particularly recommended." (New Yorker)"
