By Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. “America’s two most famous orators” went head-to-head in the Scopes Monkey Trial, on which this play was based. I saw it on Broadway with George C. Scott and Charles Durning many years ago, and “true crime” is probably not quite accurate, but it was a trial of the century, of sorts.
This is a 1979 Bantam PB with Spencer Tracy-based cover art; the expected toning to the pages; mild shelfwear as well.
