"An incisive and searching book on the life and judicial philosophy of the most respected conservative justice of our era. It merits wide and thoughtful reading."--Norman Dorsen, Stokes Professor of Law, New York University School of Law, and President, ACLU, 1976-1991"Tinsley Yarbrough has done it again! His latest judicial biography provides a splendid analysis of Justice Harlan's impact on American constitutional law, the Supreme Court as an institution, and the pivotal role he played in shaping the courts of civil liberties. The book is must reading for every student of the Court."--Kermit L. Hall, Professor of History and Law, University of Florida, Gainesville"Provides the kind of masterful insight and evaluative prowess that enriches our understanding of the judiciary and the fascinatingly complex individuals who comprise it. John Marshall Harlan, although too often neglected, was one of its most meritorious, and we are in Professor Yarbrough's debt for bringing him to life in this splendid, eminently readable biography."--Henry J. Abraham, James Hart Professor, University of Virginia"Yarbrough offers the first major--and excellent--biography of one of the Warren Court's most interesting and brilliant figures....An absorbing and scholarly analysis of one of the Supreme Court's truly great jurists."--Kirkus Reviews
