William M. Kunstler
The Most Hated Lawyer in America
David J. Langum

"Langum paints a large, sympathetic portrait of a keen and angry man."

- New York Times

"A vivid biography."

- Publishers Weekly

"Langum opens a fascinating window on four decades of legal firestorms and the lawyer who stood close to the flames."

- Library Journal

"A thoughtfully enthusiastic critique, Langum outlines the life, loves, and legal struggles of the radical lawyer who defended such diverse clients as the Chicago Seven, the Attica prison insurgents, Jack Ruby, and John Gotti."

- Kirkus Reviews

"Probative and insightful . . . Langum goes beyond the conventional reading of Kunstler to uncover a man who often embellished his experiences to get at deeper truths about American society."

- Booklist
