246 pp. with B/W illustrations. Slight edgewear. Bright yellow cover rubbed white at upper right front corner. Inscribed by author on half title. "Our purpose in publishing TRIAL BY ORDEAL is only partly to rehabilitate the reputation of the two people who were accused of crimes they did not commit. It is not merely to show what can happen to individuals under our present system in which crown prosecutors and judges are not held responsible for the actions they take in the pursuit of their high calling. The purpose is perhaps much more radical. We would hope that thinking people would begin to question the morality of a society in which the best we can offer by way of justice is an adversarial legal system resembling a power gaem or contest instead of a search for truth - a game the participants will do anything to win.".
