Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MICHAEL B. JORDAN AND JAMIE FOXX 

A powerful true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to fix our broken system of justice—from one of the most brilliant and influential lawyers of our time.

“[Bryan Stevenson’s] dedication to fighting for justice and equality has inspired me and many others and made a lasting impact on our country.”—John Legend

NAMED ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BOOKS OF THE DECADE BY CNN • Named One of the Best Books of the Year by The New York Times • The Washington Post • The Boston Globe • The Seattle Times • Esquire • Time

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever. 

Just Mercy is at once an unforgettable account of an idealistic, gifted young lawyer’s coming of age, a moving window into the lives of those he has defended, and an inspiring argument for compassion in the pursuit of true justice.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Just Mercy is every bit as moving as To Kill a Mockingbird, and in some ways more so. . . . [It] demonstrates, as powerfully as any book on criminal justice that I’ve ever read, the extent to which brutality, unfairness, and racial bias continue to infect criminal law in the United States. But at the same time that [Bryan] Stevenson tells an utterly damning story of deep-seated and widespread injustice, he also recounts instances of human compassion, understanding, mercy, and justice that offer hope. . . . Just Mercy is a remarkable amalgam, at once a searing indictment of American criminal justice and a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerable sometimes yields.”—David Cole, The New York Review of Books

“A searing, moving and infuriating memoir . . . Bryan Stevenson may, indeed, be America’s Mandela. For decades he has fought judges, prosecutors and police on behalf of those who are impoverished, black or both. . . . Injustice is easy not to notice when it affects people different from ourselves; that helps explain the obliviousness of our own generation to inequity today. We need to wake up. And that is why we need a Mandela in this country.”—Nicholas Kristof, The New York Times

“Unfairness in the justice system is a major theme of our age. . . . This book brings new life to the story by placing it in two affecting contexts: [Bryan] Stevenson’s life work and the deep strain of racial injustice in American life. . . . You don’t have to read too long to start cheering for this man. Against tremendous odds, Stevenson has worked to free scores of people from wrongful or excessive punishment, arguing five times before the Supreme Court. . . . The book extols not his nobility but that of the cause, and reads like a call to action for all that remains to be done. . . . The message of the book, hammered home by dramatic examples of one man’s refusal to sit quietly and countenance horror, is that evil can be overcome, a difference can be made. Just Mercy will make you upset and it will make you hopeful. . . . Stevenson has been angry about [the criminal justice system] for years, and we are all the better for it.”—Ted Conover, The New York Times Book Review

Essential

There is a reason this book is on so many recommend reading lists. It's a great entry point into understanding the plight of the imprisoned population of the United States and some of the deep systemic issues people like Bryan are valiantly fighting to change. It's also an incredible dive into the roles of mercy and grace.

Extraordinary Book on Justice and Humanity

Excellent book in substance and impeccably narrated. A moving and gripping account by a humble hero. Will interest experts and lay people alike in its narrative about criminal justice, from human rights to racial discrimination, wrongful convictions of innocents and compassion for the guilty.

An incredibly eye opening book.

This is one of the best books I’ve read (listened to). Incredibly informative and heartbreaking, knowing how bad things really have been. I am so glad I listened to this one.

Just Mercy

This was an outstanding book in very way. For someone like myself who was raised in Canada and does not seeing colour in people, it was so hard for me to get my head rapped around the atrocities from one human being to another. For one nationality thinking they had any more power or right to be here then another, is appalling. The author’s writing was so easy to listen to. You didn’t want to put the book down. It was so very sad in some parts “I cried.” I’m so sorry that there are humans on this earth that feel they have the right to dominate others, and that we are not all equal.

10/10 should be mandatory for everyone to read

The message, the different cases, the different people. Just an amazing story of how much change 1 man can bring to a world of injustice.

Excellent. Potentially life changing.

Excellent and potentially life changing book. While it’s hard to hear some of the awful stories, I am thankful to have listened to this book. My heart and mind were touched/opened in a new way. The work that Bryan and his team are doing is wonderful. I also really appreciated Bryan’s reading of his own book.

Injustice Injustice Injustice

Enjoyed the various cases with varying outcomes. It's hard to believe all the wrongs committed and inhumane laws that existed and still exist in the US.

A must read!

If I could have listened to this book in one sitting, I would have. But I listened bit-by-bit by bit, So I could properly take in the vast amount of information shared by the author, lawyer Bryan Stevenson, and and take in the depth of the stories he shares about his experiences and clients. This book is shocking and inspiring. I will most likely listen to it again and have no doubt this book's profound message will continue to sink in over time. Makes me want to go to law school.
