Story4 out of 5 stars 12
Nearly a century ago, famed liberal attorney Clarence Darrow defended schoolteacher John Scopes in a blockbuster legal proceeding that brought the attention of the entire country to the small town of Dayton, Tennessee. Darrow’s seminal defense of freedom of speech helped form the legal bedrock on which our civil liberties depend today. Expertly researched, “colorful, and dramatic” (Publishers Weekly), The Trial of the Century calls upon our past to unite Americans in the defense of the free exchange of ideas, especially in this divided time.

Great subject matter, poor performance

The speech pattern of the reader is so over-the-top affected it's nearly impossible to listen to for any length of time. I bought this without listening to the sample, and that's on me. Had I tried the sample, I would have passed on the book.
