By John Holland Cassity, M.D. Introduction by James D.C. Murray. “A psychiatric and legal evaluation of motives and responsibilities involved in the plea of insanity as revealed in outstanding murder cases of this century” — including Leopold and Loeb, Charles Guiteau, and Harry K. Thaw. Cassity was the psychiatric chief at Bellevue for some years.
A very well-kept 1958 hardcover; some damage/toning to the jacket, but it was wrapped at a previous stop. Sits quite straight. Some toning inside but unexpectedly bright for a book this age. An excellent reading or research copy.
