Title: Biography of a myth
Review: Clarence Darrow is highly over-rated as a trial attorney. Many of his verdicts in Cook County were the result of his bribes to selected jurors. He lost his most famous cases- Loeb and Leopold, and Scopes. Darrow was driven by a hardline socialist dogma, but he still represented corporations when he needed the money. Irving Stone, the author, has been revealed as a Soviet agent in the Venona transcripts. His views about Darrow are biased with his twisted view of American society. If you read this book,realize that it is not an objective biography about Darrow, but a propaganda piece instead.
