In 1962 John Goldmark, cattle rancher, Harvard Law School graduate, and distinguished three-term state legislator for a lightly populated area in north central Washington, was overwhelmingly defeated in his bid for reelection. He and his wife, Sally, had been accused of being communists by a small group of right-wing extremists. The Goldmarks sued their accusers for libel and when their case came to trial in the winter of 1963-64 it has become a cause celebre throughout the country.Witnesses of national reputation crossed the country to testify, the eastern press covered the case, and issues of civil liberties, the communist challenge to the values of American society, and the radical right movement were fought out before a rural jury. The charge that the American Civil Liberties Union was a communist front, among other issues, was litigated for the first time. Today the Goldmark trial can still tell us much about democracy, civil liberties, and trial by jury.William Dwyer was the Goldmarks' chief counsel. His gripping story of their nightmare and ultimate vindication is a classic of American trial court history. He provides a vivid picture of the political climate and its effect on everyone involved―plaintiffs, defendants, and counsel for both sides. In addition he gives us a fascinating description of the courtroom drama itself, revealed in the extensively quoted testimony, and a fascinating account of the way trial lawyers plan the strategy of a case: from jury selection, the questioning and cross-examination of witnesses, to final arguments.

Review "Bill Dwyer's book deals with a landmark in the legal and the political history of the state of Washington. Most important, it tells the tragic and triumphant story of one of Washington's most interesting political leaders, John Goldmark. And it does so in a narrative which is both beautifully crafted and compelling."―Slade Gorton, United States Senator

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. stunning account of an ugly place in time By slproctor The late William L. Dwyer was a trial lawyer for 30 years before he was appointed United States District Judge for the Western District of Washington in 1987 by Ronald Reagan. As a lawyer he handled State of Washington v. American League, which led to the creation of the Seattle Mariners. As a judge he presided over, among other cases, the nation's first homicide trial under federal product tampering law (two deaths by cyanide poisoning) and the case establishing a conservation plan for the spotted owl. Dwyer also designed and taught a course, "The History and Philosophy of Litigation," at the University of Washington School of Law. His previous book, The Goldmark Case: An American Libel Trial, won an American Bar Association Gavel Award and a Governor's Award for Writers in the State of Washington. In June 2001, the University of Washington School of Law established the William L. Dwyer Chair in Law.Okanogan County is my second home. I was friends with the Goldmark family, some of the attorneys, and community. The Cariboo Motor Inn coffee shop was a popular place to be in the morning. Cattlemen, orchardist, bee keepers, lawyers, dentists - the men of the community, would gather and hash over all the news. The Goldmark case came up long after the trial ended, long after the senior Goldmark passed on, and long after their oldest son, Charles, his wife, son and daughter were massacred on Christmas Eve in 1985. This story is a jagged scar on the history of this county and our country. Dwyer crawls right into the psyche of the people and even to this day, when re-reading this book, I get goose bumps, I cry, I rage, I swear at the unbelievable chain of events and I am ashamed at times, by association, even of people who are long dead.This is Washington State History and it does not get any better than when Dwyer is the one telling the story.
