Media Reviews
Remarkable - a passionate, cogent and eloquent defence of the idea of law as the framework for a just society... Vitally important * Financial Times *
Highly readable... Startlingly topical * Sunday Telegraph *
Powerful and prescient * Daily Telegraph *
This is a good book, well-written, pacey and to the point * Sunday Times *
Admirable... Without Helena Kennedy's passionate defence of the rule of law we might be completely in the hands of an uncaring government * Daily Mail *
Passionate and well-argued. This is a book not just for lawyers but for anyone who cares about the boundaries between the state and the individual... An excellent, courageous and compelling howl of outrage from an insider who has refused to be intimidated * Independent *
This is a remarkable book by a remarkable woman. It is both a polemical assault on the actions of the present British Government...and a manifesto for an alternative agenda. All that Kennedy writes is refreshingly free form inhibition... Justice does indeed matter to us all * Times Literary Supplement *
