NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The inspiration for American Crime
Story: The People v. O. J. Simpson on FX, starring Cuba Gooding, Jr.,
John Travolta, David Schwimmer, and Connie Britton
The definitive account of the O. J. Simpson trial, The Run of His Life
is a prodigious feat of reporting that could have been written only by
the foremost legal journalist of our time. First published less than a
year after the infamous verdict, Jeffrey Toobin's nonfiction masterpiece
tells the whole story, from the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and
Ronald Goldman to the ruthless gamesmanship behind the scenes of "the
trial of the century." Rich in character, as propulsive as a legal
thriller, this enduring narrative continues to shock and fascinate with
its candid depiction of the human drama that upended American life.
