Andrew Rose Books

Andrew Rose is a barrister, an author and historian who has written biographies based on controversial criminal trials of the last century, exploring a rich backdrop of contemporary social, legal, and political issues. Wide-ranging experience as barrister and judge has helped Andrew delve deeply into the dramatic lives of all sorts and conditions of folk, saints and sinners alike. With a judicious eye, Andrew takes a sideways look at the exercise of authority, at the ways of humankind, at people enduring extreme challenges of life and death, sometimes highlighted in blackly humorous - even absurdist - situations.
