5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating memoir,
By Mountain Climber (Anchorage, Alaska, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Defending Mohammad: Justice on Trial (Hardcover)
This book is a riveting account of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing trial, from the view of one of the defense lawyers. Why is this book so good? The author is exceptionally candid: He openly discusses conflicts with the judge, with fellow defense counsel, with his client, and within himself. Rather than being self-serving -- as many of these memoirs are -- Precht gives us insight into the daily problems of defense counsel and the larger issue of trying accused terrorists within our criminal justice system. This book is easy to understand & leaves a lasting impression. If you are a current or future lawyer, or just interested in terrorism and civil liberties issues, read this book.

Behind the headlines,
By A Customer
This review is from: Defending Mohammad: Justice on Trial (Hardcover)
Precht has done a remarkable thing: He's made the courtroom drama of this trial both personal and a fascinating case study of justice in modern America. Perhaps more important today than when the trial took place a decade ago (the first foreign terrorist trial in the US), the book made me think about our current administration, the abridgement of our rights, and the constant balance of rights and protections in a democracy. Thanks.
