Summary: A winning attorny's insight into the legal system
Comment:
In writing this book, Gerry Spence has revealed a good part of
what makes him one of the winningest trial lawyers in the
nation.
His views range from cynical or reverent in his no-holds-barred
examination of his experiences with U.S. justice. He knows
what is good about the country but holds nothing back when he
feels a part of our system is flawed and injust.
Reading the book, I could tell how he became so successful. His
ability to relate his pathos and sense of justice to his
audience is first-rate, and his committment to justice for his
clients is surely unparalleled in modern times.

Summary: The Breathing Dead...
Comment: If you think the book is good, get the audiotape read by Mr. Spence himself!!! The book is well written as if he prepared it for use in a trial. He reads it like a story with using emphasis on sounds/words like he teaches in his book/audiotape "How to argue & win everytime!"
The tape is awesome and I still listen to it periodically to remind myself of my goal to quit working for corporations. My goal is to stop at age 45 and I'm going to do it because of books/tapes like these that have motivated me to bring life into perspective.
Several of the previous reviews mention the book lacks on solutions to our slavery to corporations/government. I agree and got the same feeling of disappointment at the end of the tape. However, in one of his books he argues simplifying life (get rid of excess spending on material things like cars, eating out, one spouse working, etc)would buy at least some freedom.
So I sent an email to Mr. Spence a few years ago asking him about the lack of choices we have to "escape" our slavery to corporations, etc. & my views on nature controling our destiny. His reply:
"...But you are absolutely right: Mother nature is ultimately
in charge of this house of fools. No place to escape. Gerry"
I'm still preparing my escape. Americans can live cheaply in Costa Rica or Thailand ($700/mo. get you a place to live, a private cook, maid, and gardener). If you're gonna escape ya gotta make/save lots of money to live in USA with all the taxes and inflation (gas prices). Anyone please email me your ideas!

Summary: Beware of the Non-Breathers
Comment: The Country lawyer from Wyoming explains clearly that we have all returned to slavery. We have become the worst kind of slaves - those that believe they are free.
In fact, we all slave to support the New King - the non-breathers, the corporations. He points out that nearly every aspect of our lives are controlled by nameless, faceless, soulless, greedy, cold, corporations. Although he neglects to mention that the United States of America is also a corporation, I am sure he suspects that most of his readers are acutely aware of the fact.
We have been duped, dumbed-down, and brainwashed into believing that we are free, when nothing can be further from the truth.
His cynicism of our justice system is well supported and one cannot help but agree with his conclusions regarding the badly broken system.
His writing is poetic and heart-felt. The book opens and closes with personal letters that he has written or received. These touching letters capture the essence of the man and his love of mankind. His passion for justice is contagious. His honesty, intellect, and candor explain his stellar court record and leave one wishing that in time of need, an attorney like Gerry Spence might appear. Unfortunately, we have even less hope of good men like Mr. Spence appearing than we do of regaining freedom in this country.
While I do not share all of his "tree-hugging" ideals, I was moved by some of his suggestions, and found his Indian references extraordinary.
This book can truly offer sound advise to libertarians, and Patriots everywhere.
