Interesting, informative and easy to read
If you have ever had any contact with what we are pleased to call the 'Justice System' in this country, you were probably not pleased with the results. Well, this book shows you that it is even worse than you thought. Written in shirt sleeve english, it is a series of short stories by a former insider, exposing the failures of the government and our justice system to provide justice. In a simple and interesting style, the book gives example after example of what happens to the little guy when people with access to the levers of power want a particular result from the 'Justice System.' Contains some thoughtful insights on our personal freedom or whats left of it, reforming our laws and how we will do business with each other in the future. I enjoyed it and I think you will too.

JUSTICE, NOT JUST US
'In the Teeth of the Wind' should be of interest to the estimated 70 million Americans who have been termed tax protestors at one time or another, and to the more than 110 million Americans who are disaffected, and in all other ways turned off, by the Government and its process. Waxmans insightful, insider tales of woe reveal that ethics in action has become ethics inaction, and 'due process' has become DO process, as the reader begins to realize that the thing that most oppresses people is the law. Ironically turning the phrase of Associate Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, who said that the jury should render its verdict in the teeth of the law, Waxman attests to the devolution of the practice of law, and the descent and decay of all legal process to the putrid state its in today. Im glad I read this book! I hope millions of others will read it and take action to stop the degeneration of our once great nation. For Liberty in Our Lifetime, R.J. Tavel, J.D.

The Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction
In the Teeth of the Wind is a comprehensive look into the legal mind and principles of a practicing attorney who unwittingly fell into some monumental cases and became involved with some very unusual people. However, the book is not written for lawyers and is easy for the layman to understand. The book relates one man's quest to fight for the underdog and challenge the establishment. It provides an inspirational account of how a former Assistant U.S. Attorney fell out of favor with the Establishment and became a fighter for Freedom. It provides a tour of the Court system and exposes corruption on a incredible scale. It is a natural flowing read, yet riveting. No fluff. Stops you dead in your tracks and says, 'Pay attention this is important.' Fascinating and told with wit and understanding of the human condition.

Bizarre to historic accounts kept me reading
In a series of case-centered vignettes that range from bizarre to historic (often both), establishment-turned-rebel lawyer Shelly Waxman intends to expose massive and unfortunately routine corruption and unfairness in the legal system and the threat these pose to our freedom. This he does, in spades. However, the book is also a treasure trove of slices of 'unknown' history. Spooks, Chicago 'plumbers' (in Latin America they'd be called right-wing death squads, no?), Black Panthers, the Belanco Religious Order, IRS hearings -- 'tis amazing what Waxman encountered and became entangled in over the course of one career. At times I wished Waxman had an editor. By book end, I only wanted more. Waxman's stranger than fiction true stories and crunchy, biting, learned-the-hard-way observations about power, corruption and freedom had me hooked.
