Product Description

From Library Journal

Though in some measure a rival of Roger Newman's Hugo Black (LJ 8/94), Ball's scholarly biography is really a different book. Newman writes of Black almost as a member of the family: lovingly yet sufficiently detached to see the complex person that Black was. Relying on Black's files in the Library of Congress and on interviews with his family and colleagues, Ball (political science, Univ. of Vermont) takes a more academic approach in his examination of Black as "one of the half-dozen greatest justices" in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. The present work, particularly when read with Ball's earlier Of Power and Right (LJ 11/15/91), adds a great deal to what every educated reader should know of Black and his place in U.S. legal history. Highly recommended.?Jerry E. Stephens, U.S. Court of Appeals Lib., Oklahoma City
