The legal thriller of the decade. --Cleveland Plain Dealer
Now a Major Motion Picture!
In this true story of an epic courtroom showdown, two of the nation's largest corporations stand accused of causing the deaths of children. Representing the bereaved parents, the unlikeliest of heroes emerges: a young, flamboyant Porsche-driving lawyer who hopes to win millions of dollars and ends up nearly losing everything, including his sanity. A searing, compelling tale of a legal system gone awry--one in which greed and power fight an unending struggle against justice-- A Civil Action is also the story of how one determined man can ultimately make a difference. With an unstoppable narrative power, it is an unforgettable reading experience.
Jonathan Harr lives and works in Northampton, Massachusetts, where he has taught nonfiction writing at Smith College. He is a former staff writer at New England Monthly and has written for The New Yorker and The New York Times Magazine.
Harr spent nine years researching and writing A Civil Action, which was published in 1995, subsequently nominated for a National Book Award, and awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award.

评分some understanding of US civil procedure would help.
评分是本好书,非常推荐。 这本书的开始不太好读,节奏也不快,慢慢地交待背景,介绍人物。但是一旦熬过了开头,故事越到后面越精彩,越发展越快,仿佛一部不断加速奔跑的马车。。。到最后,书在手中完全放不下来,只能挑灯夜战,一口气把它看完。 合上书后,在我脑海里徘徊的不...
评分下半年入P大国际法学院,这本是导师推荐的入学前需要读完的第一本书,算是对美国法律体系是怎么运作的初步印象吧,导师强调的还是解决问题的思维而不是法律条文。另外的一本的是To Kill A Mockingbird.
