Description

"I never find no body's compassion and request mercy. I'd never, as was once unnecessarily anticipated in this court, be considered a fugitive from justice in this nation, merely a finder of it."—Conrad Black, in his declaration for the court, July 24, 2011In 1993, Conrad Black was the operator of London's Daily Telegraph and the top of 1 of the planet's biggest paper organizations. He finished A Life happening in 1992, a memoir, and "excellent leads beckoned." In 2004, he was terminated as chairman of Hollinger International after he and his colleagues were accused of scam. Here, for the very first time, Black explains his indictment, four-month test in Detroit, incomplete sentence, incarceration, and mostly effective appeal.In this unflinchingly revealing and beautifully written memoir, Black creates without book concerning the prosecutors who mounted a campaign to ruin him and the correspondents who assumed he was responsible.
