Now adapted into a major motion picture starring Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx, and Brie Larson, this gripping true story delves into the American criminal justice system's most harrowing and inspiring cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the narrative is Bryan Stevenson, a Harvard-educated attorney who founds the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending society's most vulnerable: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped within the farthest reaches of the criminal justice system. One of Stevenson's inaugural cases involves Walter McMillian, a young black man wrongfully sentenced to death for a notorious murder he didn't commit. In pursuing justice for Walter, Stevenson uncovers a labyrinth of conspiracy, political corruption, and legal brinkmanship, all while grappling with the expansive societal implications of mercy and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJust Mercy\u003c\/em\u003e not only documents Stevenson's relentless pursuit of justice for Walter McMillian but also paints a poignant picture of the many lives he has touched throughout his career. The book elegantly captures the human stories behind the legal battles, presenting a stirring argument for compassion and humanity in the fight for true justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs seen in the HBO documentary \u003cem\u003eTrue Justice\u003c\/em\u003e, this #1 New York Times bestseller has garnered wide acclaim and numerous awards. The book is a resounding call to address the multitude of flaws within America's justice system, making it both a searing indictment and a hopeful manifesto for change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Laureate, aptly states, \"Bryan Stevenson is America's young Nelson Mandela – a brilliant lawyer fighting with courage and conviction to guarantee justice for all.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracy Kidder, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of \u003cem\u003eMountains Beyond Mountains\u003c\/em\u003e, remarks, \"Our American criminal justice system has become an instrument of evil. Bryan Stevenson has laboured long and hard, and with great skill and temperate passion, to set things right. Words such as important and compelling may have lost their force through overuse, but reading this book will restore their meaning, along with one's hopes for humanity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Cole of \u003cem\u003eThe New York Review of Books\u003c\/em\u003e adds, \"\u003cem\u003eJust Mercy\u003c\/em\u003e is every bit as moving as \u003cem\u003eTo Kill a Mockingbird\u003c\/em\u003e, and in some ways more so. It demonstrates, as powerfully as any book on criminal justice that I've ever read, the extent to which brutality, unfairness, and racial bias continue to infect criminal law in the United States. But at the same time that Bryan Stevenson tells an utterly damning story of deep-seated and widespread injustice, he also recounts instances of human compassion, understanding, mercy, and justice that offer hope. \u003cem\u003eJust Mercy\u003c\/em\u003e is a remarkable amalgam, at once a searing indictment of American criminal justice and a stirring testament to the salvation that fighting for the vulnerable sometimes yields.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExperience the harrowing and inspirational journey of Bryan Stevenson in \u003cem\u003eJust Mercy\u003c\/em\u003e, a powerful testament to the enduring potential for mercy to redeem us all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45692132065516,"sku":"9781925849745","price":30.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781925849745.jpg?v=1725553091","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/just-mercy-film-tie-in-edition","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
