Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. A searing family memoir, hailed as remarkable (The New York Times), compelling (People), and engrossing (Kirkus Reviews), of a trial lawyers tempestuous boyhood in Texas that led to the vicious murder of his brother by the father of actor Woody Harrelson.In 1968, David Bergs brother, Alan, was murdered by Charles Harrelson, a notorious hit man and father of Woody Harrelson. Alan was only thirty-one when he disappeared (David was twenty-six) and for more than six months his family did not know what had happened to himuntil his remains were found in a ditch in Texas. There was an eyewitness to the murder: Charles Harrelsons girlfriend, who agreed to testify. For his defense, Harrelson hired Percy Foreman, then the most famous criminal lawyer in America. Despite the overwhelming evidence against him, Harrelson was acquitted. After burying his brother all those years ago, David Berg rarely talked about him. Yet in 2008 he began to remember and research Alans life and death. The result is Run, Brother, Run: part memoirabout growing up Jewish in 1950s Texas and Arkansasand part legal story, informed by Bergs experience as a seasoned lawyer. Writing with cold-eyed grief and a wild, lacerating humor, Berg tells us first about the striving Jewish family that created Alan Berg and set him on a course for self-destruction, and then about the miscarriage of justice when Bergs murderer was acquitted. David Berg brings us a painful family history, a portrait of an iconic American place, and a true-crime courtroom murder drama that elegantly brings to life the rough-and-tumble boomtown that was 1960s-era Houston, and conveys with unflinching force the emotional damage his brothers death did to his family (The New York Times). Synopsis coming soon. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
