Why read it?

This book – about the 1980s prosecutions by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York – made me want to become a prosecutor. (I eventually was lucky enough to become part of the SDNY myself.)

You’ll see the massive power of federal prosecutors to go after ultra-wealthy corporate criminals; the ride is bumpy, with all manner of in-house drama and courtroom surprises, but the result changed the history of criminal justice in the U.S.

From Elie's list on making the law come to life.
