Description

QB VII by Leon Uris is a dramatic courtroom novel published in 1970. The four-part novel highlights the events leading to a libel trial in the United Kingdom.

In Queen’s Bench Courtroom Number Seven, famous author Abraham Cady stands trial. In his book The Holocaust, born of the terrible revelation that the Jadwiga Concentration Camp was the site of his family’s extermination, Cady shook the consciousness of the human race. He also named eminent surgeon Sir Adam Kelno as one of Jadwiga’s most sadistic inmate/doctors. Kelno has denied this and brought furious charges. Now unfolds Leon Uris’s riveting courtroom drama, one of the great fictional trials of the century. The story is loosely based on a real-life 1964 defamation lawsuit (Dering v. Uris) involving Leon Uris’s earlier novel Exodus.
