”I hugely admire him … This book is not just a show-off catalogue of his greatest hits. It is a shaming, chilling list of injustices” A.N. Wilson
”A fascinating and passionate record of the author”s major cases in courts, inquests and public inquiries, whose context will be as familiar to the general reader as to the lawyer”
Spectator
Michael Mansfield, QC, is Britain”s most high-profile defence lawyer, whose unparalleled commitment to his clients and radical approach to forensics, evidence and disclosure have made him a scourge of the establishment and a champion of the individual in many miscarriages of justice cases.
Passionate about unveiling corruption and unafraid to challenge received wisdom, he has taken on many of the most controversial cases of our times, including the Bloody Sunday Inquiry, Angela Cannings, Jill Dando and Barry George, Dodi Fayed and Princess Diana, Stephen Lawrence, Arthur Scargill and the miners and the tragic death of Jean Charles de Menezes.
Dissecting these cases with incisive intelligence, subtlety and humour, and interspersing revealing personal reminiscences he offers a fascinating insight into the idiosyncrasies of the English legal system and how it has changed from the late 1960s to the present.
