Book Synopsis


Trade Review
So far as any one book can dispel a large historical mystery, this book does it, magnificently." — Garry Wills, New York Review of Books

"Lucidly written, impressively researched, closely argued... The result is formidable." — Irving Howe, New York Times Sunday Book Review

"A historic event... Stunningly meticulous, a monument to the intellectual ideal of truth stalked to its hiding place." — George Will, Newsweek

"The definitive account." — Reader's Catalog

"The most exciting piece of history in recent memory." — William F. Buckley

"The most objective and convincing account we have of the most dramatic court case of the century." — Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.

"[Weinstein] has gone as far as any historian could to establish the formal validity of the verdict... His treatment of the resulting material strikes one as both judicious and properly skeptical; he writes of it with clarity and restraint. ...Weinstein's contribution, then, is major and I would say definitive." — John Kenneth Galbraith

"Impressive... [Weinstein] makes persuasive use of this material in a narrative that is lucid, dramatic and even handed." — Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times Book Review
