About This Item
Random House, New York, 2003, 2003. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Royal octavo, hardcover, about fine in near fine black pictorial dj. He used to be America's most controversial supreme court judge, but now it's Clarence Thomas (who we hope will resign). Douglas emerged from isolated Yakima, Washington, to be dubbed, by the age of thirty, "the most outstanding law professor in the nation"; at age thirty-eight, he was the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, cleaning up a corrupt Wall Street during the Great Depression; by the age of forty, he was the second youngest Supreme Court justice in American history, going on to serve longer-and to write more opinions and dissents-than any other justice. Huge book of 716 pages with case index and regular index, extensive bibliography and notes on author.
