Publisher's Summary

For more than a year, Christopher Darden argued tirelessly for the prosecution, giving voice to the victims in the 0.J. Simpson murder trial. This number-one New York Times best seller is an unflinching look at what the television cameras could not show: behind-the-scenes meetings; the deteriorating relationships between the defense and prosecution teams; the taunting, baiting, and pushing matches between Darden and Simpson; the intimate relationship between Darden and Marcia Clark; and the candid factors behind Darden's controversial decision for Simpson to try on the infamous glove, and much more.

Out of the sensational frenzy of "The Trial of the Century" comes this haunting memoir of duty, justice, and the powerful undertow of American racism.

A stunning masterpiece told with brutal honesty and courage.

Good but

It was a very good book and was very well written ,it’s so amazing to really here Christopher Dardens real voice , it changed the whole emotion of the book. My only problem is that they are ALOT of parts of this audio missing. I often found myself getting lost. The parts that weren’t on the audio book where also important details of the murder case. I would hope that it gets fixed soon so that whoever reads it next has a better experience! It is truly an amazing book

Abridged to the point of being incoherent

Impossible to follow with how much it's been shortened. I think the original book would have been interesting, but I can't recommend this copy.
