To Defy The Monster

Excellent description of racial indifferences from the early part of the 20th Century and how one man, despite his son's murder, wanted to make sure the man who is accused of killing him receives a fair and just trial in a time when African-Americans rarely, if ever, received in the white courts. A must read that will leave you wanting to know more about each and every character in the book.
