“There is a frightful momentum to injustice, a conspiracy of convenience and expediency. Race and class play a role as well, of course. Nothing seems to stop its cruel unfolding. Nothing except the brave actions of the heroes who populate this remarkable book. They bear witness, keep the memory, change outcomes and most importantly save lives. In doing so, they also help save the rest of us bystanders.” -- Ken Burns, award-winning documentary filmmaker “For many of us who cover these stories of injustice, Saul Kassin is a trusted go-to voice on why wrongful convictions happen with such alarming frequency in this country. Who better an authority than Kassin to highlight the moments and figures who have shaped this important movement.” -- Lester Holt, news anchor, DATELINE NBC “For anyone who cares about justice (and humanity), the collection of twenty-four stories featured in Champions of Innocence is an important read.” -- Monica Lewinsky, host of RECLAIMING WITH MONICA LEWINSKY podcast “Champions of Innocence is a page turner, a literary tour de force, and an absolute must-read for anyone who cares about injustice. If you read only one book this week, this month, of this year, make it this one.” -- Jason Flom, host of WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS podcast
