"Bold in its own right, Plea Bargaining's Triumph is both an excellent synthesis and refutation of existing scholarship, and it may contribute to law reform." - John G. Jacobsen, University of Nebraska, Lincoln "Rarely does a work of legal history speak so clearly to contemporary crisis as does George Fisher's Plea Bargaining's Triumph. - Candace McCoy, School of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University "Fisher's wide-ranging and innovative approach makes a major contribution to our understanding of the origins and stability of plea bargaining as a central feature of our modern criminal courts." - American Historical Review "A practice like plea bargaining is so pervasive that no one gives it a second thought. It is good to look back to its origins, and Plea Bargaining's Triumph is to be praised, and read, for doing so." - The Federal Lawyer "Fisher has produced the best account of the rise and 'triumph' of plea bargaining in the literature of American criminal justice history. He has also produced a provocative work of interdisciplinary history that merits the attention of all scholars who write about the past." - Journal of Interdisciplinary History
