A wonderful book. Very detailed but also lucid.,
By GaryGech@hotmail.Com (Savannah, Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes: Law and the Inner Self (Paperback)
Two apsects strike me in reading about Holmes. First is his life. What a great subject. Holmes is almost as exciting to read about as Lincoln. The second is his jurisprudence. White does a fine job covering both. I like White's style. Somewhat loose but never inaccurate, his biography is very readable.Two chapters: The Supreme Court of Massachusetts and the "Progressive Judge" are so wonderfully written that they deserve to be read twice. I read the book over a period of four months which is something I rarely do. This is because the subject and content are so important that the philosophy of Holmes takes some time to perculate. White's description of Holmes influenced my perspective greatly. I would recommend the book to any person interested in law or simply about America. |
