Barkley R: I Never Been A Gangster

I Never Been A Gangster

Behind every courtroom trial is a judge tasked with making a life-altering decision--this is their "engaging and bracingly honest" (National Catholic Reporter) side of the story "Provides an invaluable public service, as the judicial branch is perpetually shrouded in mystery."--Justin Driver, The Washington Post Prosecutors and defense attorneys have it easy--all they have to do is to present the evidence and make arguments. It's the judges who have the heavy lift: they are the ones who have to make the ultimate decisions, many of which have profound consequences on the lives of the people standing in front of them. In Tough Cases, called "powerful collection of inside information about some of the most interesting and high-proﬁle cases of our times" by former prosecutor Paul Butler, a remarkable group of judges--from family court to tribal court to the federal bench--pull back the curtain on the most challenging cases of their careers, sharing what it means to bear the weight of justice in cases that shape lives and ignite national debate. These "hard-to-put-down" (starred Library Journal) narratives include landmark rulings such as the Elián González custody case, the emotionally charged Terri Schiavo right-to-die battle, and the prosecution of Scooter Libby. Others unfold far from the public eye but are no less consequential: a tribal court judge navigating cultural tensions, a newly appointed jurist grappling with identity and authority, and a chilling case involving a mother who killed her own children. Relatively few judges have publicly shared the thought processes behind their decision making. Tough Cases makes for "unprecedented" (Greta van Susteren) reading for everyone from armchair attorneys and fans of Law and Order to those actively involved in the legal profession who want insight into the people judging their work.

Judges Tell the Stories of Some of the Hardest Decisions They've Ever Made

Tough Cases

WINNER of 75th Nation­al Jew­ish Book Award: Biography Finalist for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize 2026 'FIVE STARS ... Magnificent' Telegraph 'Compulsively readable' Financial Times 'Gripping and timely' The Times 'Crackingly told' Philippe Sands 'A kind of masterclass' Sebastian Junger THE NEW BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING, COSTA PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE VOLUNTEER The true story of a Jewish lawyer who returned to Germany after WWII to prosecute war crimes, only to find himself pitted against a nation determined to bury the past. At the end of the Nuremberg trial in 1946, some of the greatest war criminals in history were sentenced to death, but hundreds of thousands of Nazi murderers and collaborators remained at large. The Allies were ready to overlook their pasts as the Cold War began, and the horrors of the Holocaust were in danger of being forgotten. In The Prosecutor, Jack Fairweather brings to life the remarkable story of Fritz Bauer, a gay German Jew who survived the Nazis and made it his mission to force his countrymen to confront their complicity in the genocide. In this deeply researched book, Fairweather draws on unpublished family papers, newly declassified German records, and exclusive interviews to immerse readers in the dark, unfamiliar world of postwar West Germany where those who implemented genocide run the country, the CIA is funding Hitler's former spy-ring in the east, and Nazi-era anti-gay laws are strictly enforced. But once Bauer lands on the trail of Adolf Eichmann, he won't be intimidated. His journey takes him deep into the rotten heart of West Germany, where his fight for justice will set him against his own government and a network of former Nazis and spies determined to silence him. In a time when the history of the Holocaust is taken for granted, The Prosecutor reveals the courtroom battles that were fought to establish its legacy and the personal cost of speaking out. The result is a searing portrait of a nation emerging from the ruins of fascism and one man's courage in forcing his people--and the world--to face the truth.

One Man’s Battle to Bring Nazis to Justice

The Prosecutor

A COLLECTOR'S ITEM! Such critical content will never be published again! New edition which succeeds the first one published in December 2024, but which was illegally banned from sale by the European Court of Human Rights.This autobiographical book recounts the author's experiences, commenting on and analysing them vithin the context of the Belgian and European justice systems (the Court of Human Rights and the Directorate-General for Justice), which are rife with corruption and perversion whenever a member state of the European Union is implicated. The book takes the form of a novel, comprise of several narratives that are completely current (until June 2026) and that illustrate the relentless contempt and fabricated attacks within the courts, perpetrated through forgery and lies. They are all aimed at destroying the author personnality, either by attempting to imprison him to prevent him from becoming a whistleblower. Six such attempts have all failed. And so, the author has become deeply motivated to inform you of the terribly destructives atrocities that undermine the integrity of life in Europe. &gt;A swindling perpretrated by the Belgian Pensions Service steals viciously a significant portion of the legal pension amount from thousands of people for over a decade. The author of this book uncovered the scam and recounts it here. &gt;In february 2026, Transparency International, the organisation that assesses corruption in 180 countries worldwide with the help of numerous partners, published a report, some of whose findings are recounted in this book, demonstrating its continued relevance. THIS REPORT LENDS AN "OFFICIAL DIMENSION" to the author's various narratives, which provide concrete illustrations of the findings reported by Transparency International. The author considers both the European and the Belgian national levels, the latter serving merely as the starting point for analyzing the workings of the perversions and corruptions perpetrated by numerous political and legal institutions, as well as parastatal bodies - many names you are familiar with! The first part of this book was banned from sale upon its publication in December 2024 by the European Court of Human Rights, a ban decreed illegally as it is entirely contradictory to Article 10 of the Convention on Human Rights, which serves as the Court's "Code of Justice". The European Court is thus betraying its own legal principles, compelled to do so to cover up state and political atrocities. The book contains numerous texts printed in color, colored boxes, and text fragments highlighted against colored backgrounds so as to perceive more directly the essential points of these analyses of societies. Photographs of paintings by the author are also included in the text, and you can submit a purchase offer for each one. This is a sincere way to show your respect for the autho'r dedication to European society.

Against All Odds, The Fight For Justice

The story of Florence Allen, the first woman judge in the United States, and women's transformation of the legal system. Florence Allen was the first woman judge many times over--first federal appellate court judge, first elected to a state supreme court, and first shortlisted for the U.S. Supreme Court. During Allen's forty years on the bench, the country swung between progressivism and conservatism, with passage of a constitutional amendment for women's voting rights, two world wars, the Red and Lavender Scares, and the New Deal.Amid these changes, women used their new political standing to transform the courts, first by becoming active agents in the justice system, and then by developing theories of public law, social justice, and fair process. Exploring Allen's fascinating legal life, Tracy Thomas recounts the larger history of how women infiltrated the legal system as judges, lawyers, jurors, and legislators to demand a more representative system of justice for the welfare of all.

The Story of My Life

Aleksandr Bergman was born in Riga, Latvia in 1925. The son of a teacher, his youth was filled with the promise of a vibrant European future - until the world caught fire.At 15, Aleksandr watched as the Red Army shuttered his country's borders. But the Soviet occupation was only the beginning of the nightmare. In June 1941, the Nazis entered Riga, and the life he knew vanished forever.From the mass executions of the Riga Ghetto to the harrowing depths of the Kaiserwald, Stutthof, and Buchenwald concentration camps, Aleksandr bears witness to the darkest corners of the human experience. Yet, amidst unthinkable inhumanity, his story is defined by a different force: unyielding resilience. Liberated from Buchenwald, Aleksandr decided to return to Riga. To honor his parents' murdered dreams, he built a life from the ashes - graduating in law, raising a family, and ensuring his grandchildren became the living legacy the regime tried to extinguish.In his later years, Aleksandr became the voice for the 70,000 Latvian Jews who perished, founding the Latvian Ghetto and Concentration Camps Prisoners Association. This book is more than a Holocaust memoir; it is a flame of memory for the 90% of the Jewish population of Latvia lost to history, and a testament to the "tree of life" that continues to grow against all odds.

An Academic Autobiography

A compelling historical biography that offers an in-depth look at one of Texas' most influential and controversial figures during the tumultuous mid-19th century. This meticulously researched work by John A. Adams, Jr. provides a vivid portrayal of Oran Milo Roberts' life, from his humble beginnings in Alabama to his rise as a prominent jurist and political leader in Texas. The biography expertly weaves Roberts' personal story with the broader historical context of Texas and the nation, shedding light on the motivations and beliefs that drove Roberts and many of his contemporaries. It provides a nuanced understanding of the complex social, political, and economic forces that shaped the state's development and skillfully examines Roberts' evolving political views, particularly his staunch advocacy for states' rights and his eventual embrace of secession. Adams' engaging narrative style brings historical figures to life, offering readers a front-row seat to the debates and decisions that shaped Texas history. The Old Alcalde is essential reading for scholars of Texas history, Civil War enthusiasts, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics that led to the secession of Texas from the Union.
