Description
Geoffrey Robertson, The Tyrannicide Brief: The Story of the Man who sent Charles I to the Scaffold, Chatto & Windus, London, 2005. Geoffrey Robertson's book is an appropriate one to review in the context of the reintroduction of detention without trial. His historical account raises some crucial questions about the source of today's much-threatened civil liberties, as well as the significance of the English Revolution of 1641-1660 and the legitimacy of the contemporary 'human rights' trials of former heads of state, such as Slobodan Milosevic and Saddam Hussein, ousted by US-led military interventions.
