Albany, NY – The Victorian-era true story of how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle took it upon himself to defend the wrongfully-accused George Edalji, a half-British, half-Indian son of a vicar, is the subject of "Arthur & George," Julian Barne's new book. Barnes talks with Gretchen about what the case has to say about British attitudes towards race in that period.
