Synopsis :

For half a century, criminal defense lawyer Leonard Weinglass defended a who's who of the twentieth-century left in some of America's most spectacular trials. "The typical call I get is one that starts by saying, You're the fifth attorney we've called," he once said. Then I get interested. Those calls came from the likes of the SDS, the Chicago Seven, Daniel Ellsberg, Abbie Hoffman, and Mumia Abu-Jamal, among many others.
In a field dominated by egomaniacs, Weinglass was known for his humility, his common touch, his ability to work collectively, his kindness, and his attention to detail. This long-overdue biography captures the vibrant life and inspiring legacy of an American iconoclast.
"The book is dramatic in its reach and speechless in its words. It's not just about Len, but who we were as people during his journey. Remarkable." - Stanley L. Cohen, attorney and political activist
Len said: "I would classify myself as radical American. I want to spend my time defending people who have committed their time to progressive social change. This exemplifies how, along with Michael Ratner, William Kunstler, and other US lawyers around the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York, he was an incredibly important role model for radical human rights lawyers in Europe such as myself."- Wolfgang Kaleck, Secretary General, European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights
