“History will judge our commitment to equal justice for all by how the case of Mumia Abu-Jamal is handled. In a sensitive and balanced account of the trial of Mumia Abu-Jamal and his struggle for justice, Dan Williams shows us why the machinery of death must not continue to grind away our most cherished values.

While no one opposed to Mumia' s radical beliefs will be completely swayed by this book's findings, Williams's terse and lengthy arguments raise intriguing questions about how justice has been served in this high-profile case and should challenge many readers' preconceptions.” —Publishers Weekly

“Williams steers clear of issues of guilt and innocence as he looks at the fault lines at the intersection of racial politics and criminal justice . . . An accessible book, one that shows, too, Abu-Jamal's passionate commitment to speaking for the voiceless and powerless. ” —Booklist
