Last Man Standing : The Tragedy and Triumph of Geronimo Pratt

Rating:
Summary: One of the Best books I ever laid my hands on
Review: This book should be mandatory reading for every black person when they turn 15 years old. To read what the gov't put this man through was utterly shocking. After you read this book read "The Judas Factor - The Plot to Kill Malcolm X." You'll be numb after reading these two books back to back.

Summary: great story, great book.
Review: This is a riveting piece of narrative non-fiction, one of the truly appalling miscarriages of justice in modern times excellently told by a master of true crime writing. geronimo pratt was framed by the fbi, LA police and LA district attorney's office for a murder he wouldn't -- and didn't -- commit. "Last Man Standing" doesn't just capture the case, it brings the reader inside the maddeningly constructed cover-up and heroic attempts to finally achieve justice. You know how it ends but still can't put it down and don't want it to end. what higher compliment can be said of a piece of writing? it's a masterpiece.
