FOR THE PEOPLE A Story of Justice and Power

Actor Nathan Krasner (the author's son) brings a rich dramatic narration to this audiobook. His measured but powerful style enhances this remarkable story of the author's unlikely rise from defense attorney/civil rights lawyer to Philadelphia's district attorney. Nathan Krasner's resonant tone and forward-moving cadence give the necessary gravitas to this memoir. An anti-incarceration reformer, Larry Krasner seemed the unlikeliest of candidates for DA, but, deciding he wanted to reform the system from within, he cobbled together a coalition of progressive politicians, along with civil rights and community activists; won the primary in a crowded democratic field; and was elected. The arc of his professional life from public defender to DA makes for a compelling listen. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2021]
