By the time he fled Germany in 1934, Hirschberg had argued a series of cases that placed him in direct opposition to Munich's conservatives, reactionaries and Nazis. This book blends biography and courtroom drama to recount how he litigated a number of politically charged disputes and fought to reverse the criminal convictions of innocent defendants following World War I.
