ISBN10: 047211476X, ISBN13: 9780472114764, [publisher: University of Michigan Press] Hardcover First Edition 443 pp., notes, bibliography, index. The story of one of post-World War I Germany's greatest defenders of justice in the face of Hitler's rise to power. In a unique blend of biography and courtroom drama, Justice Imperiled captures the excitement of Hirschberg's actual cases and presents legal battles that are raging, in different circumstances, to this day. "Justice Imperiled" portrays a figure who lived a dramatic life at a turning point in German and European history. By the time he fled Nazi Germany in 1934, Max Hirschberg had fought a series of cases in Munich's courtrooms that illuminate both the history of political justice in pre-Nazi Germany and, more generally, the problem of miscarriages of justice in all Western democracies.

Throughout the Weimar Republic, he squared off in court against Munich's conservatives, reactionaries, and Nazis - twice facing Hitler himself.As he litigated politically charged disputes, he also began fighting to reverse the criminal convictions of innocent defendants and then to study what mistaken verdicts teach about the criminal justice system as a whole.
