O.J. The Last Word

O. J.: The Last Word is perhaps the most controversial and shocking book yet to written about the O.J. Simpson murder case. Spence who was O.J.'s first choice to represent him in the criminal trial, and who served as a national commentator throughout one of America's legal traumas, has chosen, after three years without a written word, to write this searingly honest, often caustic assessment of the trial that riveted a nation.

Measured and authoritative, O. J.: The Last Word will be debated and talked about for years to come, long after the "talking heads" have flocked to another crime that will dominate the talk shows and tabloid papers. Even though, as Spence states, "the last word on the Simpson case will never be written," his portrait of America and its troubled justice will serve as a witness to the era of cultural and ethical upheaval, and its attendant disillusionment.
