Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xviii, 414 pages. Illustrations. Index. Slight DJ wear and soiling. Inscribed by Kunstler on the title page, which reads To Aaron--With best wishes. Bill Kunstler 11/23/94. Non-author gift inscriptions on fep. William Moses Kunstler (July 7, 1919 September 4, 1995) was a radical lawyer and civil rights activist. Kunstler was an active member of the National Lawyers Guild, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and a co-founder of the Law Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR). Kunstler's defense of the Chicago Seven from 19691970 led The New York Times to label him "the country's most controversial .lawyer". Kunstler was well known for defending members of the Revolutionary Communist Party, Catonsville Nine, Black Panther Party, Weather Underground, the Attica Prison rioters, and the American Indian Movement. Sheila Isenberg is the author of the groundbreaking Women Who Love Men Who Kill and Muriel's War. Derived from a Kirkus review: In this autobiography, Kunstler, radical lawyer extraordinaire, is once again arguing a difficult casethis time his own. As defense attorney in some of this country's highest profile political courtroom dramas, throughout his astounding career Kunstler has chosen to champion political causes rather than peoplecauses that were often very unpopular. His rallying cry is the defense of the underdog, those he feels are most rejected by society and who therefore risk missing out on that all-American right: a good defense. But his hard-hitting remarks here about the corruption and racism of the American judiciary is present in a dry narrative that belies the passion it is intended to convey. He intriguingly calls the Kennedys ``dangerous,'' and his criticism of another.lawyer, former NAACP director Jack Greenberg smacks of in- fighting. Kunstler's career has followed the political times. He gives an interesting if idiosyncratic introduction to legal politics, Kunstler seems focused on his outsider status. One would have hoped for even more than is presented here from a man who has stood up so often for justice in courtrooms. Derived from a Publishers Weekly review: Notable is his candor: Kunstler admits to craving the limelight and enjoying the trappings of celebrity, as when he moved left during the civil-rights era and became radicalized during the 1969 Chicago Seven trial, After thoughtfully telling of his family, youth and early legal career, Kunstler relates a saga that includes an enormous cast: Martin Luther King, Lenny Bruce, the Berrigan brothers, Leonard Peltier, the Central Park ``jogger case'' defendant Yusuf Salaam, and El Sayyid Nosair, the accused killer of Rabbi Meir Kahane. Though Kunstler never questions the veracity of his clients, he's mostly convincing in portraying himself as a Don Quixote in a system biased toward the rich.

Dagegen haben wir Anwälte in der ganzen Welt zu kämpfen.": Lang: deutsch 501 g.…
