Reviews

This superb, detailed study, part of an outstanding series, 'Chief Justiceships of the United States Supreme Court, ' is written in a lucid style by a celebrated scholar. It is a gem. It is accessible to general readers and scholars alike and should be in any library that devotes some space to American constitutional history.-- "Choice"
