The World's Greatest Trials: Tim Healey

The courtrooms of the world have provided a stage for some of the most riveting human dramas ever told. Tension and conflict are the essence of a trial - sometimes with the threat of execution waiting at the end. Some of the trials in this volume have changed the course of history, created new laws and have even introduced new words into the English Language: The Yorkshire Ripper; Charles I; Guy Fawkes; the Nuremberg trials; Lindy Chamberlain and many more are featured, including the ever-popular and scandalous Profumo Affair. With black and white photographs.
