Publisher's Summary

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

A gripping and comprehensive history of the iconic attorney Clarence Darrow and the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Russia Hoax and the “superb” (Sean Hannity) Witch Hunt.

Nearly a century ago, famed liberal attorney Clarence Darrow defended schoolteacher John Scopes in a blockbuster legal proceeding that brought the attention of the entire country to the small town of Dayton, Tennessee. Darrow’s seminal defense of freedom of speech helped form the legal bedrock on which our civil liberties depend today. Expertly researched, eye-opening, and stirring, The Trial of the Century calls upon our past to unite Americans in the defense of the free exchange of ideas, especially in this divided time.

Fantastic

Balanced, deeply researched and well written. I was riveted to this book. Had heard of the trial but had little detailed knowledge of what happened. Amazingly we still have attacks on free speech, freedom to express ideas/hypothesis (correct or incorrect) and the use of laws to suppress them. We see this worldwide. This book is important and should be read by all.
