Description

Sir Michael Kerr's autobiography chronicles his life from Continental childhood to a distinguished career in the Court of Appeal. Born into a family with Germanic roots, Kerr recounts his father's anti-Nazi writings and their subsequent exile from Berlin in 1933. The memoirs follow Kerr's assimilation into English life, including his education at Aldenham School and Cambridge University, as well as his experiences during World War II, including internment as an enemy alien and service in the Royal Air Force. The later chapters focus on Kerr's career as a leading commercial lawyer, culminating in his appointment as a Lord Justice of Appeal. This candid autobiography offers a unique insight into the life of one of Britain's most prominent judges of the 1970s and 1980s.
