From fighting alongside Cesar Chavez for migrant workers rights in California, to battling for the women of the "Cornell Eleven" in a landmark gender-discrimination suit, Tony Gaenslens career in law has been dedicated to disrupting the privileges of powerful interests. Born to a French mother (cousin to the legendary fashion designer Christian Dior) and a stern German-American father, Gaenslens life in civil rights began in his final year at Yale, when William Sloan Coffin inspired him in the early 1960s to join the dangerous, uncertain struggle in the South for the rights of black Americans. Some harrowing days in a Mississippi jail ensued, and cemented forever his dedication to justice. In A HARD ROAD TO JUSTICE, Gaenslen details a life rich in adventure, courtroom battles, activism and self-exploration, all guided by a passion for the law and a quest for human rights. Anyone interested in the law, civil liberties, and how one persons dedication can make all the difference, will be absorbed and inspired by A HARD ROAD TO JUSTICE..
