Book Synopsis
Portrays a figure who lived a dramatic life at a turning point in German and European history. By the time he fled Nazi Germany in 1934, Max Hirschberg had fought a series of cases in Munich's courtrooms that illuminate both the history of political justice in pre-Nazi Germany and the problem of miscarriages of justice in all Western democracies.

Trade Review
Justice Imperiled is the tale of Germany's Clarence Darrow, its greatest courtroom lawyer, Max Hirschberg. Driven by his determination that right prevail, he proved that forgotten convicts were innocent; he confronted the most vicious Nazis; and he fought, relentlessly, to answer political arrogance with moral principles. This book reads like a legal thriller; it will leave you thinking about the nature of justice and inspired by the human spirit. - Sister Helen Prejean
