The Closing Chapter by Lord Denning (South Asian Edition) | 2008

Lord Denning's autobiography, The Family Story, is continued in Book One's The Closing Chapter. In it, he describes the events surrounding the release and subsequent removal of What Next in the Law as well as his decision to step down as Master of the Rolls with an unflinching and moving candor. He has played a unique role in some of the most contentious legal matters of the day, which are fascinatingly described in Book Two.
