THE GREAT ABDUCTORS

Hardback, 1st edn. The author had comments to make about the tragedy of the Lindburgh kidnapping; under the chapter title of 'Buddies' he analyses Clarence Darrow's struggle to establish the medical view of mental disbalance in one of the most horrible and fascinating crimes in American court records. Many of his cases are British (including some 17th and 18th-century classics); some take place in the Far East; and the case of Eichmann, abducted by agents of the Israeli government, is treated from an unusual angle. With Index. 192pp. 8vo. h/back. Lightly foxed, o/w Nr. F. in Vg+ dw.
