Description
In this book, Czech lawyer and scholar Jakub Drápal tells the story of the life of Kamill Resler, an attorney who defended the most prominent Nazi tried in postwar Czechoslovakia: Karl Hermann Frank, who would go on to be executed for his role in organizing the massacres of the Czech villages Lidice and Lezáky in 1942. Celebrating Resler's lifelong commitment to justice-to honoring even the most nefarious criminals' right to a defense-Drápal highlights events that influenced Resler's outlook and legal career, important cases that preceded Frank's trial, Resler's subsequent defenses of other Nazi criminals, and the final years of Resler's life under the communist regime.
