Synopsis

UNDERDOG is the memoir of one of the youngest passengers on the MS St. Louis, escaping Nazi Germany to Holland and eventually settling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Against All Odds, Fighting for Justice is the story of a human rights lawyer representing all the prominent civil rights leaders in Milwaukee during the 1960s and decades thereafter.

The world's worst serial murderer, Jeffrey Dahmer, writing from Columbia Correctional Institution on February 4, 1994, had this to say about Thomas Jacobson's efforts to make him pay for his gruesome slaughter of seventeen victims.

Dear Mr. Jacobson,

Congratulations are in order. Because of your laziness, you've single-handedly ruined the proposed deal we had on the table. You were aware from the beginning that in order for the deal to be accepted, we wanted all 17 families to benefit from it.

Now I heard that you wanted to waste more of your client's money by suing my dad - what a foolish shyster you are! If you insist on continuing to lead your clients down the garden path, chasing after "willow the wisps," then so be it. Let me assure you that your efforts will fail. You're simply too incompetent to handle something like that.

I'll be writing to your clients and letting them know that you're nothing but an incompetent "twit" who is only interested in "using" them.

Sincerely, Jeff

Jacobson obtained from Dahmer one-half million dollars for eleven of the victim families. The book follows the life of accomplished Milwaukee Civil Rights Lawyer Thomas M. Jacobson from his escape from Nazi Germany, his journey to becoming a nationally recognized civil rights lawyer, to seeking justice in one of the nations highest profile cases in the 1980s: Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer.
