A Civil Action

by Jonathan Harr
$8.90
A Civil Action
A Civil Action

Riveting courtroom drama uncovers environmental tragedy.

If true-to-life legal battles pique your interest, "A Civil Action" offers a fascinating look at the complexities of the legal system intertwined with the emotional heft of a small community fighting for justice. The story's depth and Harr's thorough research can grip you as much as any legal thriller, but with the poignancy that only true events can provide.

  • American Bar Association Silver Gavel Award for Books (1996)
  • National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction (1995)
