The Tyrannicide Brief
Charles I waged civil wars that cost one in ten Englishmen their lives. But in 1649 parliament was hard put to find a lawyer with the skill and daring to prosecute a King who was above the law: in the end the man they briefed was the radical barrister, John Cooke. He was the bravest of barristers, who risked his own life to make tyranny a crime.
