About the eBook Version of Judges Under Fire
This slim volume seeks to illustrate what can happen when the judiciary is stripped of its independence and prevented from following the rule of law. While it provides some lessons from foreign nations where the rule of law has been sublimated to opportunistic leaders, it also provides a chilling reminder that it can happen here.
