{"product_id":"the-great-trials-of-the-robert-grant-9781885119520","title":"The Great Trials of the Twenties: The Watershed Decade in America's Courtrooms","description":"1920s America was at peace at home and abroad but issues facing the nation were highlighted by a series of trials including baseball's Black Sox, Al Capone, John T. Scopes, Sacco and Vanzetti, Leopold and Loeb, and the court martial of Billy Mitchell. Americans will find this book on trials of the \"Roaring Twenties\" provocative. Great Trials begins with an extensive introduction describing \"the setting\" of that tumultuous decade, and follows with an in-depth examination of 10 trials, touching on nearly every facet of American life. Each case is a fascinating story, and the fierce jousts in these courtrooms impart to the reader both how different things once were, and how much the nature of argumentative individuals has remained exactly the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Grant, Joseph Katz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1885119526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781885119520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.25w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/1998 pg. 1592\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/09\/1998 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/1998 pg. 710\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/1998 pg. 79","brand":"Robert Grant","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43984442130687,"sku":"9781885119520","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18b494ef-09b9-4b94-bb28-1c37c926fd6c.jpg?v=1683272334","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-trials-of-the-robert-grant-9781885119520","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
