Description
The Trials of Oz by Tony Palmer marks a pivotal moment in history - the longest obscenity trial in history. In 1971, the trial dragged on for nearly six weeks, overshadowed by other major events of the time. Despite this, the trial's significance became increasingly apparent, and the press's handling of it was widely criticized. The trial's impact was further exacerbated by a badly informed media, which rewrote key events to conform to prevailing prejudices. This 40th Anniversary edition includes new material from all parties involved, including the original defendants, the prosecuting barrister, one of the OZ schoolkids, and even the judge's daughters. The book also features many illustrations, including unseen material from Feliz Dennis' collection. This edition provides a unique opportunity to read the actual words that were at the heart of the trial, unfiltered by the press's biases. With its new material and illustrations, this book offers a fresh perspective on a significant chapter in history.
