Rating:
Summary: An In Depth and Fair Look at Modern Legal History
Review: This book is a masterpiece of modern legal history, effectively covering the fall of classicism and the rise and decline of progressivism in legal thought. This second in his series on the American Law is much less controversial than the first, and lends much to the in-depth scrutiny of the individuals behind progressivism in the period surrounding World Wars I and II. This is a must read for any law student with an interest in the foundations of what they learn every day.
