L’Amérique en procès

LEONARD WEINGLASS, A LAWYER AGAINST STATE JUSTICE

For more than half a century, the American lawyer Leonard Weinglass was in every fight. A supporter of a radical transformation of the world, he sided with progressive militants and other targets of state repression.

In L’Amérique en procès, a tale of the most emblematic cases defended by this extraordinary man, Seth Tobocman, at the height of comic book journalism, transcends the exercise of mere biography. He thus composes a journey through the post-war political history of the United States as seen from the dock, from where he investigates the trial of the judicial machine. At a time when ever-growing social movements are confronting a state that is blind and fatally oblivious to human rights, this book will serve as an education for social justice.
