Reseña del libro "Chicago Rules: Federal Cases That Defined the City and the Nation (en Inglés)"
Imagine a book that tells Chicago history in a new way. Imagine a book that takes a look at the major cases in the citys federal court and and exploresusing bold photographs and smartly written texthow these cases affected Chicago and the nation. This is a visual history of Chicago that has never been told before. Big and small dramas play out every day in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. Headquartered in Chicago, the court has played a pivotal role in U.S. history. This is where Abraham Lincoln, as a young lawyer, changed the direction of westward expansion when he argued that trainsnot steamshipswere America's future. This is where Al Capone met his fall, at a trial that finished him as Public Enemy Number One. This is where Abbie Hoffman, the nation's first Yippie, butted heads with Judge Julius J. Hoffman and the Establishment at the trial known as the Conspiracy Eight. And this is where four governors, including Rod Blagojevich, were found guilty in recent years and sent to prison. Chicago Rules takes a look at the major cases in the courts first 200 yearsfrom the first cases in the early 19th century through present times. Historical figuresincluding Mormon leader Joseph Smith and author Mark Twainas well as contemporary superstars like Michael Jackson, Muhammad Ali and Oprah Winfrey have all had their day in the Northern Illinois court. Some were victorious; some came out scathed. This book examines these great trials and the people behind them to offer a unique look at Chicago and U.S. history.
