The Trial of the Century

From Gregg Jarrett, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Russia Hoax and The Witch Hunt comes a gripping and comprehensive history of the iconic attorney Clarence Darrow and the famous Scopes Monkey Trial.

Let Me Tell You More About The Book…

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 defense of the free exchange of ideas, especially in this divided time.
