An important overview of the way our justi ce system works\, and why the rule of law is essential to our survival as a society&mdash\;from \;the one-time federal prosecutor for the Southe rn District of New York\, \;and host of the \;Doing Justice \; podcast. Preet Bharara has spent much of his life examining our legal syst em\, pushing to make it better\, and prosecuting those looking to subvert it. Bharara believes in our system and knows it must be protected\, but to do so\, he argues\, we must also acknowledge and allow for flaws both in our justice system and in human nature. Inspiring and inspiringly written\ , \;Doing Justice \;gives us hope that rational and objec tive fact-based thinking\, combined with compassion\, can help us achieve truth and justice in our daily lives. Sometimes poignant and sometimes con troversial\, Bharara's expose is a thought-provoking\, entertaining book a bout the need to find the humanity in our legal system as well as in our s ociety.
