Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This book offers a definitive history of the most famous criminal proceeding of the century, detailing the events of June 12, 1994, and their aftermath in a way that has never been told before. It presents a rich narrative driven by a legal thriller's nonstop plot, highlighting the foibles and idiosyncrasies of its participants. Jeffrey Toobin's groundbreaking coverage for The New Yorker was the first to confront the reality that race was central to the trial and the crime itself. His explosive article in July 1994 outlined the defense strategy, identified Mark Fuhrman as a key antagonist, and introduced the "race card" as a pivotal concept. Toobin's reporting, based on unprecedented access to various sources, sheds new light on the key figures involved—prosecutors, defense attorneys, private investigators, and others who have since become household names. Iconic images such as the bloody glove, the "n-word," and the Bronco chase are revisited, providing fresh insights into their significance. Additionally, the book explores broader themes such as celebrity culture, race and its manipulation in media, domestic violence, and the American legal system, prompting readers to reconsider their understanding of these modern totems and the larger societal questions they raise.
