SYNOPSIS: Criminal lawyer Eddie Greenspan is one of Canada's most publicized and least understood personalities. Colourful, controversial, influential, outrageous, he is both loved and hated, sought after as an ally and avoided as an adversary. The very variety of these reactions suggests the inadequacy of any one label to describe this larger-than-life, complex man, whose determination to see that human rights are kept firmly to the forefront in the legal process and in the judicial system has been a consistent passion throughout his meteoric career. Now, in Greenspan: The Case for the Defence, a stimulating account of a twenty-year period in the life and times of one of the country's most outstanding criminal lawyers, we are introduced to the Greenspan behind the headlines through anecdotes about and uninhibited revelations of his experiences and views, his celebrations and failures, his tribulations--and his trials. Central to the book, of course, are Greenspan's own cases, ranging from dramatic murder trials to those that few people have ever heard about. But woven into the narrative are Greenspan's comments on legal, social, or jurisprudential points such as police powers, parole, and plea bargaining. What he has to say may amuse or enrage, but it is certain to challenge every Canadian. It not only illuminates how Canadians view the law; it clarifies, in sometimes shocking ways, how the law views Canadians. In learning how the legal system has affected Greenspan's life, we discover how it continues to affect our own liberties, reputations, and pocketbooks. Greenspan: The Case for the Defence is a lively and thoughtful account of and by a major figure of our times. George Jonas's Vengeance, his most recent full-length work, was a major success, occupying the number-one position on the bestseller list in Canada for more than a dozen weeks. By Persons Unknown, written with Barbara Amiel, was also a bestseller, and won the coveted Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America. Final Decree, his highly acclaimed novel, has recently appeared in a new paperback edition in Canada. He is the award-winning producer of The Scales of Justice on CBC Radio and continues to write his column for the Toronto Sun and special pieces for Toronto Life and other major periodicals.
