1944In 16 (cm 14 x 20,5). Bella dedica autografa manoscritta firmata dell'Autore alla prima carta bianca. Brossura editoriale con qualche taglietto e mancanza ai piatti. Rara prima edizione di questa operetta che Berlinguer ristampera' poi a Roma, presso Mondadori, con il titolo leggermente diverso di "In assise. Ricordi di vita giudiziaria sarda". Mario Berlinguer, padre di Enrico, avvocato penalista, si interroga qui sulla giustizia in Sardegna da un lato chiedendosi per quale motivo in Italia viga ancora la reputazione di una Sardegna "criminale", dall'altro affermando che "il processo sardo ha lineamenti inconfondibili che mettono alla tortura la perspicacia dei giudici piu' esperti".
