INSCRIBED TO PERCY YUTAR BY THE AUTHOR, Genius for the Defence : The Life of Harry Morris by Benjamin Bennett, published by Howard Timmins, 1959, hardcover, illustrated, 280 pages, condition: very good.

Book covers South African cases by  advocate Harry Morris, K.C., cases such as Daisy de Melcker and the Sir Delvis Brougham murder trials are covered. 

Percy Yutar was a South African lawyer who became the country's first Jewish attorney-general. 
He was the state prosecutor in the Rivonia trial in which Nelson Mandela and seven others were convicted of sabotage and sentenced to life imprisonment.

The author, Benjamin Bennett was a well known South African crime writer. His prodigious output of books reflects a close involvement, as crime reporter, both at the crime scene and in the courtroom, where his professional life regularly took him, pen and notebook in hand. It is said that, for his insight, he was even consulted by the police for the solving of certain complex cases. He is credited with having posed the most plausible scenarios for enduring murder mysteries, such as that of Bubbles Schroeder.
