Reviews

...a thoughtful description of an unusual life an important account of what is was like to be a refugee from persecution who found sanctuary in this country. contain qualities often missing from judicial autobiographies: experience and judgment.
*The Times Law Section*

...he recounts his unusual life story with candour and thoughtfulness
*Times Literary Supplement*

The reader discovers in the pages of this volume a sensitive, yet tough, courageous and determined man. There is frankness in greater measure than many would have wished. I do not think it is too much to describe this book as an inspiration.
