Doing Justice: A Prosecutor's Thoughts on Crime, Punishment, and the Rule of Law by Preet Bharara

4.0

Full of colorful, careful and cogent anecdotes, Bharara's book takes you through the steps of prosecution in the American justice system: from inquiry to accusation, from judgement to punishment. His experience and clear concern about the law and morality shine through, though so, too, does he difficulty in exercising criticism against the systems in which he works. Given his work, this is perhaps hardly surprising, and yet evokes some reasonable critique of how easily he slips uses law to stand in for justice or morality, or how easily he assumes that morality is simply a treasure box to discover, then follow.
Nonetheless, this is a useful (and well-written) read for those practicing the law and those hoping for a better understanding of how it operates in this country.
