" First came the man: a young wanderer in a fatigue coat and long hair. Then came the legend, as John Rambo sprang from the pages of FIRST BLOOD to take his place in the American cultural landscape. This remarkable novel pits a young Vietnam veteran against a small-town cop who doesn't know whom he's dealing with -- or how far Rambo will take him into a life-and-death struggle through the woods, hills, and caves of rural Kentucky."

" John Rambo. Vietnam vet. American. First Blood unleased the fury of his rage. Now in prison for his bloody one-man war against a small-town sheriff. Colonel Trautman. Green beret. Rambo's former commanding officer. With a signed release form - if Rambo will take on what would be a suicide mission for most men. One: Penetrate the remembered jungles of Hell, and find the missing Americans who are still being tortured there. Two: Don't rescue them. Only bring back photos. Don't engage the enemy. Don't get revenge. For Rambo the first part is rough. The second, impossible."

Simpson case as a backdrop, the famous defense lawyer examines the American criminal justice system, analyzing its strengths and weaknesses-Here is the first word, though certainly not the last, from a lawyer involved in the O. J. Simpson case. Dershowitz, whose job was to handle the appeal for the case should it have been necessary, is also one of the foremost (and most prolific) writers about the American legal system. He states in his introduction that this book was not written to change anyone's mind, but rather to explain how, under our criminal justice system, the jury could have properly reached a verdict that millions of people found untenable. Still, one can't help but believe that budging public opinion was a teeny part of Dershowitz's agenda. And despite his claim that he wants primarily to look at the larger issues that surround the case, Dershowitz is not shy about explaining the… Read More
