Reviews / Votes
"... one of the finest judicial biographies ever written." -The New York Times Book Review "More than a model biography; it is an absorbing work of legal history with the character of a man at its center... a model of incisive storytelling in a field that can be as dry as a bone... a splendid book indeed, as finely textured and balanced as its subject." -The Washington Post Book WorldMore details
