Clarence Darrow is the most celebrated criminal trial lawyer in American history. In the Spring of 1911, organised labour implored Darrow to represent the McNamara brothers, two union iron workers charged with the murder of twenty employees arising out of the bombing of the Los Angeles Times building. Darrow and his wife Ruby' s trip west quickly became a fight for survival. Darrow' s Nightmare is a true story unlike any other - a historical courtroom thriller brought to life.
"A fascinating portrait of Clarence Darrow as we' ve never seen him before - as a criminal defendant. In Darrow' s Nightmare, Nelson Johnson tells the riveting tale of America' s most famous lawyer as he fights for his life, marriage, career and reputation. I couldn' t put it down. " --Terence Winter, Creator & Executive Producer, Boardwalk Empire
Nelson Johnson is the author of the award-winning book and acclaimed HBO series of the same name, Boardwalk Empire. Johnson' s other books include The Northside: African Americans and the Creation of Atlantic City and Battleground New Jersey: Vanderbilt, Hague, and Their Fight for Justice.
