Synopsis

Bob Fiske’s “life story is an inspiration to all Americans, not just those directly involved in the private or public practice of law.”-– Senator George J. Mitchell

Bob Fiske is one of the best-known and most respected lawyers of the past half century. In private practice at Davis Polk & Wardwell and as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, he has been involved in some of the highest profile cases of our time. Not only was he called on to act in the politically charged Whitewater affair including the death (suicide or murder?) of the Clinton aide Vincent Foster, but also the prosecution of drug kingpin Nicky Barnes (“Mr. Untouchable”), the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster, the USFL vs. NFL, the most contentious America’s Cup ever, and the financial swindler Bernie Madoff.

This is Bob Fiske’s legal autobiography. It’s an insider’s look at some of the most fascinating and important cases of our time, complete with telling anecdotes, colorful characters and legal cliff-hangers.
