Publisher Synopsis
"The strength of The Supreme Court Reborn lies in Leuchtenburg's able combination of social, political, and constitutional history....For those who want to begin to understand how the constitution was transformed in the course of the century, Leuchtenburg is an engaging and able guide."-Newsday "In terms of movement and upheaval in the Court itself, there is no match for the FDR era, and essayist Leuchtenburg's collection is matchless as well."-Booklist "This collection of essays is highly recommended for individuals and scholars who wish to understand the separation of powers in the American national government during a time of national turmoil."-Library Journal "An account that is always lucid and at times even gripping."-The New York Times "These nine essays...combine careful documentation and total readability....Any lawyer who dismisses the constitutional history of the 1930s as old hat has a pleasant surprise in store once he or she begins any one of Professor Leuchtenburg's essays....Writing of refreshing clarity and precision."-New York Law Journal "An excellent account of Supreme Court history.... Leuchtenburg writes like a novelist."-Choice "For any reader who is looking to see what happened to the Constitution in 1937, Leuchtenburg here supplies the critical data."-The New Republic Read more...
