Summary: Truly an experience
Comment: Last Man Standing a book that chronicles the life of Geronimo Pratt is truly a literay masterpiece. The author (Jack Olsen) did an excellent job of taking the reader into the depths of the American justice system. Olsens depiction of the Geronimo Pratt case may allow you to put any remaining thoughts of the O.J trial to rest. Witnessing the pain and sacrifice experienced by Geronimo and his attorneys is truly astonishing. How a man could experience such cruel and unusual punishment and harbor no ill feeling toward those who orchestrated his demise is a testiment to the true character of a man who refused to allow the system to crush his spirit. Last man standing is a book that will keep you up late at night telling yourself that you will read just one more chapter.

Summary: The truth of the american justice system
Comment: The story of geronimo pratt and his tragic and finally triumphant journey through the american criminal justice system is a classic story of the power of the human spirit and the political and racial injustice of our criminal justice system. I know something about geronimo's case and our criminal justice system: I have been a criminal defense attorney for 26 years and one of geronimo's attorneys for 28 years, beginning working on his case while in law school.Jack Olsen has captured the truth, horror and ultimate victory of this case . The story is not just geronimos; it is the story of many people who fought for his freedom beause of their belief in justice. The book should be read by everyone who is interested in our legal and political system; it should be read in high schools and colleges and law schools so that young people can get an honest view of what can happen in this country when police get too much power, when we let someones political views or race determine whether they are a "criminal".Jack Olsen worked for three years to create this book. The result is a brilliant book that is engrossing and that once again proves that truth can be stranger and ultimately more uplifting than fiction.

Summary: Amazing book, Amazing man
Comment: Geronimo Pratt had one of the most honorable and incredible lives I have ever heard of. This book documents his entire life, from is Morgan City childhood to his unjust incarceration for the murder of Caroline Olsen. I literally had trouble putting this book down. It is a great read for anyone interested in the judicial system, the FBI's COINTELPRO, the Black Panther Party, and racism in general. READ THIS BOOK!!!
