There are two books, “One Man’s Castle” and “Arc of Justice.” The books offer the historical account of Dr. Ossian Sweet, a black doctor who defended his life, his family and his Detroit home from a violent mob provoked by the Ku Klux Klan in 1925. Sweet was successfully defended by the famed attorney Clarence Darrow, which set judicial precedent for the castle doctrine.
