"Yarbrough's definitive biography brilliantly captures Waring's
lonely, costly, but heroic crusade for racial equality....Makes for
absorbing and even inspiring reading. I highly recommend this
important book."--The Historian
"A well-written and remarkably balanced biogrgraphy of one of
America's most controversial jurists....Informative and
penetrating, A Passion for Justice complements very well the
existing studies on local civil rights activists, and should be
required reading for all students of civil rights
history."--Georgia Historical Quarterly
"This splendid judicial biography demonstrates the suitability of
this methodology for the study of trial as well as appellate
courts....The book is rich in insight on such matters as the
relationship between family life and judicial behavior, the role of
the federal judge within the state political system, and the South
on the eve of Brown v. Board of Education. Deserves a wide
audience."--Choice
