Doing Justice, by Preet Bharara

 

This is a fascinating look at the legal system from one of the most prominent and well-known prosecutors in the U.S. It is a thoughtful analysis that is bolstered by personal anecdotes. I appreciated Mr. Bharara's style, which is to include stories that illustrate his points, without self-aggrandizement; on the contrary, many of his examples show how he learned the lessons that he shares with the reader. The book is organized in four sections that cover the whole life cycle of inquiry, accusation, judgment, and punishment. It's very well-written; I would gladly read other works by him.
