Two books on audiotape read by author Christopher Darden, recounting his experiences as prosecuting lawyer in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. Few people knew that Darden was fighting a deeper, more insidious battle -- against racism that came from all sides. When the case was over & Simpson was set free, Darden bore the anguish & disillusionment of millions of Americans. This is a haunting & poignant memoir of duty, justice, & the constant, powerful undertow of American bigotry; an unflinching look at the American justice system that shows things the TV cameras couldn't. But it also recounts the journey of one man, raised in a poor working-class neighborhood, to self-discovery & courage.

<p>#1 New York Times Bestseller. For more than a year, Christopher Darden argued tirelessly for the prosecution, giving voice to the victims in the 0.J. Simpson murder trial. In Contempt is an unflinching look at what the television cameras could not show: behind-the-scenes meetings, the deteriorating relationships between the defense and prosecution teams, the taunting, baiting, and pushing matches between Darden and Simpson, the intimate relationship between Darden and Marcia Clark, and the candid factors behind Darden's controversial decision for Simpson to try on the infamous glove, and much more. Out of the sensational frenzy of "the trial of the century" comes this haunting memoir of duty, justice, and the powerful undertow of American racism. A stunning masterpiece told with brutal honesty and courage.</p>
