In England, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, she watched the prisoners at the bar, the accusing community arrayed against them, the advocates, the jurors, the judges on the bench. She saw justice being attempted under the law - the best we can do, the worst we can do - varying in subtle yet astonishing ways from country to country. The result is a story about justice, humanity and the individual - moving, dramatic, superbly observed, splendidly told.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sybille Bedford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0571282687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780571282685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Faber Finds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.58d","brand":"Sybille Bedford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48748298109183,"sku":"9780571282685","price":20.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-faces-of-justice-sybille-bedford-9780571282685","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
