Just Mercy is a remarkable amalgam, at once a searing indictmentof American criminal justice and a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerablesometimes yields.â€•â€”David Cole, The New York Review of Booksâ€œA searing, moving andinfuriating memoir . . . Bryan Stevenson may, indeed, be Americaâ€s Mandela. For decades hehas fought judges, prosecutors and police on behalf of those who are impoverished, black or both.. . . Injustice is easy not to notice when it affects people different from ourselves; that helps explainthe obliviousness of our own generation to inequity today. We need to wake up. And that is whywe need a Mandela in this country.â€•â€”Nicholas Kristof, The New York Timesâ€œUnfairnessin the justice system is a major theme of our age. . . . This book brings new life to the story byplacing it in two affecting contexts: [Bryan] Stevensonâ€s life work and the deep strain of racialinjustice in American life. . . . You donâ€t have to read too long to start cheering for this man.Against tremendous odds, Stevenson has worked to free scores of people from wrongful orexcessive punishment, arguing five times before the Supreme Court. . . . The book extols not hisnobility but that of the cause, and reads like a call to action for all that remains to be done. . . . Themessage of the book, hammered home by dramatic examples of one manâ€s refusal to sitquietly and countenance horror, is that evil can be overcome, a difference can be made.Â JustMercyÂ will make you upset and it will make you hopeful. . . . Stevenson has been angry about[the criminal justice system] for years, and we are all the better for it.â€•â€”Ted Conover,Â TheNew York Times Book ReviewÂ â€œInspiring . . . a work of style, substance and clarity . . .Stevenson is not only a great lawyer, heâ€s also a gifted writer and storyteller.â€•â€”The Washington Postâ€œAs deeply moving, poignant and powerful a book as has been, andmaybe ever can be, written about the death penalty.â€•â€”The Financial Times Â â€œBrilliant.â€•â€”The Philadelphia Inquirerâ€œNot since Atticus Finch has a fearless and committed lawyermade such a difference in the American South. Though larger than life, Atticus exists only infiction. Bryan Stevenson, however, is very much alive and doing Godâ€s work fighting for thepoor, the oppressed, the voiceless, the vulnerable, the outcast, and those with no hope.Â Just
