Abstract
"The most dramatic and significant courtroom contests of the last century, emotion-charged true stories of what happens when superbly trained and talented lawyers clash head to head, fighting for their clients' lives and livelihoods in precedent-setting combats. F. Lee Bailey tells of his first courtroom appearance when, fresh from law school, he demolished a lie detector's evidence; Charles Rembar wittily recounts his defense of Fanny Hill and a witness' hilarious definition, under oath, of "normal sex"; William Kunstler, a famed defender of controversial public figures, re-creates the savage attack of "The Alger Hiss Perjury Case..." - Dust Jacket
