Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First edition. Hardback. Some of the most famous trials of the previous 10yrs had turned on post-mortem evidence uncovered by the author. In this book, he takes the stand in 12 important cases of unnatural death to elicit testimony from the dead. He shows h…ow the dead can be made to tell their tales by the scrupulous use of autopsy as a truth-seeking tool and how autopsies can be used as political and legal weapons. The case of the three slain civil-rights workers in Mississippi, the Fred Hampton Chicago shoot-out, the New Haven Panther and Alice Crimmins trials all revolved around the often sensational findings of the controversial Dr. Spain, a crusader for medical truth, who tells here of his many confrontations with the American system of justice. Dr. Spain explains the part of 'modern' medical technology in his fascinating detective work and reveals how prejudiced officials tried to cover up his findings. Officials weren't the only culprits. Equally guilty were giant corporations who tried to dupe the public about lung cancer, dangerous prescription medicines, and the causes of heart attacks. The author took the stand against them as well. Besides taut courtroom battles and roles played by F. Lee Bailey, Melvin Belli, William Kunstler, and Ramsey Clark, the author tells about the 'new' science of forensic medicine - and how it was changing the law and thereby affecting the public. With Epilogue and Index. 296pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned edges o/w Vg+ in notched and sl. creased G++ dw.
