Description
The New York Times Bestseller
'Simply, utterly brilliant. Bursting with humility and humanity' The Secret Barrister
'An elegant, philosophical and, at times, moving memoir of what it is like to serve as America's most high-profile legal official' Financial Times
Multi-million-dollar fraud. Terrorism. Mafia criminality. Russian espionage.
As United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Preet Bharara prosecuted some of the most high-profile cases in America. In Doing Justice he takes us inside America's criminal justice system to deliver a powerful meditation on justice – what it is, who dispenses it, how it works – and what the law can teach us about thinking and acting justly in our own lives.

[Preet] has somehow managed to be incredibly smart, principled, independent and hilarious all at the same time

At its most powerful, Doing Justice works as a metaphorical survival guide for the Trump era. As with everything Bharara does, he writes in a tone that is calm and considered, a warm bath after the outrage of Trump's daily tweets. That's what has made him such an unlikely superstar following his dismissal at Trump's hands
