The Economics of Lawmaking
"This is not a law book. It's an adventure story". The descriptive first sentence in this book.
Truly: "The remarkable true story of the Trident Three".
Not only does John Mayer possess a brilliant legal mind and a magnificent sense of humour and is deeply humanitarian, he is also a remarkable storyteller. I can imagine sitting at a dining room table surrounded by people intently listening to every word John tells of his adventure while defending The Trident Three. John manages to describe a very serious international legal court case progressively, clearly and humorously.
Years of planning culminate on 08 June 1999 when Angie Zelter, Bodil Ulla Roder and Ellen Moxley board 'Maytime', part of the United Kingdom's thermonuclear weapons fleet, to disarm the nuclear weapons. Their goal is to halt the threat of nuclear war and accidents causing a nuclear disaster.
John's brilliant legal mind leads to the most incredible defence strategy for Angie, Ulla and Ellen. The unfolding of the legal process led me to further research his remarkable defendants. I was also inspired to reflect critically on my own level of courage and actions when it comes to serious issues which affect humankind, our planet and maybe even our universe. I ask the question: Why do humanitarians get arrested for highlighting the illegal actions and atrocities of superpowers? Why is none of the heads of state ever arrested?
This book absolutely must be made into a movie, with Helen Mirren, Judy Dench and Maggie Smith. John Mayer could play himself. It's worth much more than 5 stars.
