"Kangaroo court : how dirty prosecutors and sleazy lawyers destroy political opponents, attack free speech, and subvert the constitution unveils the dangerous and growing trend of political prosecution in America. From Alvin Bragg to Jack Smith, from Fani Willis to Letitia James, to Kim Gardner, author Don Brown exposes how rogue prosecutors in politically charged jurisdictions have weaponized the legal system to punish dissent, silence opposition, and erode constitutional rights. In a time when the American judicial system is under siege by leftists and a weaponized Department of Justice, Kangaroo court dives into over twenty politically motivated cases, from the exonerations of Tom DeLay, Bob McDonnell, and Rick Perry to the wrongful imprisonment of Trump supporters, including Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. These cases underscore the need for rogue prosecutor laws to prevent further abuse of power and protect the integrity of our republic. As the 2024 presidential election looms, the political prosecutions of Donald Trump across four jurisdictions are not just a threat to one man--they are an attack on the United States Constitution and freedom of speech. It''s time to hold corrupt prosecutors accountable and restore justice to our judicial system. It''s time to prosecute the prosecutors"--Back cover

Yoko I-XXXII, focuses on Don Brown''s series of sculptures of his wife Yoko, which have been ongoing throughout his career. Don Brown''s art explores questions of representational perfection. His sculptural vocabulary harks back to classical antiquity and the elegance and idealism of neoclassical marbles such as Canova''s The Three Graces (1814-17), while also invoking modernist realism as instanced by Degas'' La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans (1881). In Brown''s distinctive take on classical sculpture, the place of an idealised heroine is taken by the real-life figure of the artist''s wife in a casual pose. Yoko becomes a conflation of the generic and the individual.
