Doing justice : a prosecutor's thoughts on crime, punishment, and the rule of law / Preet Bharara.

Bharara, Preet, 1968- (author.).

Summary:

The former United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York recounts captivating tales of true crime from his years atop the most storied prosecutor's office in the country--inside stories of terrorists threatening America, mob hit men, billion-dollar fraudsters, corrupt politicians, and even a "cannibal cop". Bharara entertains us, but also inspires us to aim high, laying out a path for how to think and act to reach fair and morally correct judgments.
