Trial A History From SocratesIn an extraordinary history of the criminal trial, Sadakat Kadri shows with wit, legal insight and a travel writers eye for detail, how the irrationality of the past lives on in the legal systems of the present. A bold and brilliant debut from a prize winning new writer. The Trial spans a vast distance in time, opening in the dread silence of the Egyptian Hall of the Dead and ending with the melodramas and hubbub of the 21st century trial circus.
