Description
Jeremy Hutchinson's Case Histories is a fascinating episodic cultural history of post-war Britain, chronicling the end of deference and secrecy, and the advent of a more permissive society. Thomas Grant brings together Hutchinson's greatest legal hits, producing a compelling narrative that explores the intersection of law, politics, and culture. Born in 1915, Jeremy Hutchinson became the greatest criminal barrister of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, playing a pivotal role in many of the great trials of the period. From the sex and spying scandals that contributed to Harold Macmillan's resignation in 1963 to the fight against literary censorship through his defence of Lady Chatterley's Lover and Fanny Hill, Hutchinson's cases provide a unique window into Britain's post-war social, political, and cultural landscape. Grant's clear and witty prose brings out the essence of each case, and Hutchinson's role, making this book an accessible and entertaining read.
