Kuritööd - Ferdinand von Schirach

Incredible but true stories. The author, a criminal defense lawyer in his daily life, explores 11 of the most bizarre cases from his career—cases where the focus is not on a simple dichotomy of "good" versus "evil," but rather on the question of guilt. As a legal professional, Schirach observes his subjects from a distance, yet also touches upon the personal impact this line of work has on the defense attorney himself. *Crimes* (*Verbrechen*) has been one of the most talked-about and best-selling books in Germany in recent years, and it has been translated into many languages. Ferdinand von Schirach (born 1964 in Munich) has worked as a criminal defense lawyer in Berlin since 1994. He is a prominent figure in his field; his clients have included former East German officials, industrialists, celebrities, and figures from the criminal underworld. The author is the grandson of Baldur von Schirach—a former leader of the Hitler Youth who was convicted at the Nuremberg trials.
